For individuals with a connection to or interest in the Beehive State, the Utah History Encyclopedia is home to a wealth of information and photographs (courtesy of the Utah State Historical Society) that document the state's history.

Today, this online encyclopedia is maintained by the Utah Education Network and includes text entries that appeared in the print version of the encyclopedia, along with additional multimedia resources. Visitors are invited to conduct a text search or to browse this collection alphabetically. Featured topics include Coal Mining in Utah, Dinosaurs of Utah, Daughters of Utah Pioneers, Zion National Park, and Outlaws, to name a few. In addition, this collection features entries on a number of famous Utahns throughout history.
