Kennecott Groundbreakers-The History of Mining in the Oquirrh Mountains
Rio Tinto Kennecott (RTK) Public History Website
In partnership with RTK and Topham Guerin, Logan Simpson created a vibrant public history website which highlights the history of mining in the Oquirrh Mountains, just west of Salt Lake City. We conducted oral histories, wrote historical articles about the people, towns, and facilities of the region, and scanned thousands of historic documents for the public to access on the website.
