Biographical History
The Cache Valley Historical Society (CHVS) was founded October 24, 1951 in Logan, Utah as the first local chapter of the Utah State Historical Society. The founding of CVHS was largely spearheaded by Dr. Joel E. Ricks, a Utah State University (USU) history professor, and during initially had fifty-two members. The first major project by the society was to compile the history of Cache Valley to commemorate the one-hundredth anniversary of its settlement. In 1956 the society produced "A History of a Valley" which received praise and an award of merit from the Association for State and Local History.
Between the 1950s and 1970s the society worked in conjunction with the USU History Department, and professors such as J. Duncan Brite, S. George Ellsworth, and Leonard J. Arrington sought to collect and preserve historic materials related to the study of local and state history. These efforts also played a role in establishing USU Special Collections & Archives.
Today the Cache Valley Historical Society meets monthly for lectures, field trips, and other projects that deal with local history.
