Historical Documents
The Recorder's Office maintains possession of original documents dating back to before Ogden was formally recognized as a city; however, we do not have an extensive repository of historical photos. Other entities, including the Utah State Archives and the Utah State Historical Society house many more historical documents and photos. We have put together a slideshow to highlight just some of the types of records maintained by the various entities (see below).
