They also create metadata and scan and upload photos to our public portal.

The Lehi Historical Society strives to preserve all items to archive standards, namely with archive boxes and bins. These materials provide protection from moisture, dust, sunlight and rodents. The historical society has won three major grants to provide such materials. In 2019, the society won funding from the Utah State Records and Advisory Board to digitize and house its newspaper collection in archive boxes. In 2022, Lehi’s PARC Program funded library shelving for our books, and in 2023, PARC funded two computers, 47 archive boxes and two archive map bins. These funds help to ensure all preservation efforts made today will be beneficial for many years to come.
