Overview
These histories are housed in the library’s special collections area and may not be removed from the library. Most are unbound and without citation but are derived from either autobiographical accounts or accounts from descendants. Women are listed under married name. The attached documents are only as good as the copies in the library’s collection. In a very few cases, library records contain additional information considered too large to scan. You may contact the library to inquire further. Hyperlinked documents are those believed to be outside of copyright restriction. Others are available at the Library.NOTE: The Cedar City Public Library has taken reasonable steps to protect copyright. Histories that are hyperlinked are believed to have cleared copyright restrictions. Histories that are not hyperlinked are not known to have cleared copyright restrictions and, therefore, are available for inspection at the library but are not reproduced. Said restrictions are: Documents found to have been written prior to January 1, 1964 are presumed to have copyright protection for 28 years after authorship or after the death of the author (whichever comes first); documents written between January 1, 1964 and December 21, 1977 are assumed to have copyright protection for 95 years after authorship or after the death of the author (whichever comes first); documents written January 1, 1978 or after are assumed to have copyright protection for the life of the author plus 70 years. If you feel that copyright has been violated, please contact the Library Director immediately at 435-586-6661 x1001.
