Utah Works is a new series of short stories about the way we work in Utah, told in participants’ own words.

Utah Works is based on The Way We Worked, a traveling exhibition created by the Smithsonian Institution and the National Archives that explores how work became such a central element in American culture. Utah Humanities is touring The Way We Worked to six Utah communities during 2017. As part of the tour, Utah Humanities and Utah Public Radio are partnering with exhibition hosts to interview local residents about their work.  

If you're in the Fillmore area, consider recording your story. Details here.

Utah Works is a collaboration between UPR, Utah Humanities, Ogden Union Station, Hyrum City Museum, and the Territorial Statehouse State Park Museum. Support for Utah Works on Utah Public Radio was made possible in part by the USU Department of History. Committed to supporting public history and the knowledge necessary for informed decision making by citizens of Utah, the United States, and the world. More information can be found here.

The Way We Worked has been made possible in Utah by Utah Humanities. The exhibition is part of Museum on Main Street, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and State Humanities Councils nationwide. Support for Museum on Main Street has been provided by the United States Congress.
