Scope and Contents

The South Slavic photograph collection consists of photographs of individuals, groups, meetings, families, events, and places associated with Utah's South Slav community. Many of these are, perforce, photographs of mines, miners, and mining scenes, since many of the South Slav community members came to Utah to work in the mines. Also included are photographs of children, weddings, funerals, stores, conventions, lodge meetings, and other subjects.
