Call for Proposals on Utah Historical MemorialsWe also want to make you aware of an exciting initiative. This year we are launching a blog series on historical memorials. We seek proposals for short essays that place historical markers in historical and contemporary perspective. We hope the series will represent the diversity of thought about historical markers and will facilitate public discussion about the place of historical markers and memorials in our society. Check out our website for more information and deadlines for proposal submissions. Call for Proposals: Blog Series on Historical Memorials
