The Utah State Board of History plans to sponsor a "how to" conference for history buffs this fall.
Max Evans, Utah Division of State History director, said his agency is seeking permission to call the event the Governor's Conference on History and Heritage and to attract other co-sponsoring agencies.Evans said it is hoped the new name will give the conference more status and encourage greater participation.
"We hope to have it in the fall, probably late October or early November," Evans said. "We want to have it separate from our annual state history board meeting in July."
Other agencies likely to help sponsor the event include the state Division of Archives and the state Division of Parks and Recreation. Other history-oriented organizations will also be solicited for sponsorship.
Evans said there are a great many topics that can be explored in this kind of conference.
