MS 0249 Pro-Utah records 1964-1970 Pro-Utah 1.5 linear feet The Pro-Utah records (1964-1970) consist of some intermittent papers from this organization. Included are by-laws, name lists, memoranda, correspondence, meeting minutes, reports, and news clippings. Pro-Utah was organized in 1964 by Utah's business leaders as an industrial promotion program. Collection materials are in English. Organizational History

Pro-Utah was organized in January 1964 and officially disbanded on 31 December 1975. This non-profit corporation was formed to help promote a state-wide industrial program. Utah's economy had been one of agriculture and mining and was trying to convert to one based on industry. The organization was made up of Utah's most prominent businessmen and backed by the governor. They travelled to California, promoting Utah, and had several accomplishments around 1965. However, activities and programs dwindled to the point where the organization wasn't really doing anything, causing it's disbandment in 1975.

The Pro-Utah records (1964-1970) consist of some intermittent papers from this organization. Included are by-laws, name lists, memoranda, correspondence, meeting minutes, reports, and news clippings. The bulk of the collection consists of materials dated 1965-1966, with little description of the organization's beginning or end.

Twenty-four hour advanced notice encouraged. Materials must be used on-site. Access to parts of this collection may be restricted under provisions of state or federal law.
