Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Oral History Institute, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, began a project in 1982 to document the interaction between the dominant culture and various minority cultures in Utah. Interviews were conducted with members of individual ethnic and cultural groups including members of the dominant white culture. The project was conducted under a grant from the Utah Endowment for the Humanities.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

The Working Together: a Utah Portfolio photograph collection consists of 5 boxes of portrait photographs of members of eight of Utah's ethnic communities. The photographs were taken by Utah photographers George Janecek and Kent Miles between 1984 and 1989. Most of the portraits were taken at the subjects' homes or businesses in Salt Lake City, Utah; however, some were photographed in other locations in Utah.

Arrangement

This collection is arranged into 5 boxes, separated from the Oral History Institute collection (P0705). Proof sheets and places related to the people depicted in these prints remain in that collection. Because the boxes in Working Together: a Utah Portfolio photograph collection were originally grouped with the Oral History Institute photograph collection, only boxes 13-17 are part of this collection. The boxes have not been renumbered, though the item-level numbers reflect the collection number P0305. The boxes and oversized and specially constructed for the prints and do not contain folders; the description in the below inventory is item-level. Most of the individuals in the photographs are identified in handwritten captions on the back.
