Established in 1948, Salt Lake Community College has decades of memorable moments.
In 2017, SLCC Library Services received a grant from the Utah State Historical Records Advisory Board (USHRAB) to digitize hundreds of photos that documented the lives of students and faculty over the last 72 years. Unfortunately, only a handful of the images include names, dates and places.
