Agency: Heritage and Arts Line Item: State History Function The Division of State History was created to be the "authority for state history," including archaeology and historic preservation. Its mission is to contribute to vibrant communities, a stronger economy, and better lives by helping people preserve, develop, and engage with Utah's history.
Statutory Authority Statutory authority for the Division of State History is provided in UCA 9-8. The Division has responsibility for: - assisting with, preserving and interpreting historical and prehistoric resources;
- stimulating research, study, and activities on Utah's history and prehistory;
- facilitating public interaction with resources, including a research library and publications;
- providing grants to heritage organizations and local governments;
- coordinating state and federal preservation laws and programs;
- cooperating with local, state, and federal entities and providing data and information related to history, prehistory, and preservation;
- enhancing historic preservation for the state and acting as a state agency for the National Historic Preservation Program; and
- aiding in the recovery and cultural affiliation analysis of human remains found on private lands.
Performance The Division of State History supports the rehabilitation of historic sites. According to a 2013 study, "Profits through Preservation", $198,379,272 in wages were paid as a result of Utah historic preservation projects that used federal or state tax credits between 1990 and 2012. An additional $4.3 million in additional property tax revenues are collected annually from investments in Utah historic preservation projects. The program measures the number of jobs created annually by rehabilitation projects, as shown below.  The Historic Preservation and Antiquities program uses G.I.S. Site, Survey and Project Records added to the collection as a productivity measure as shown below.  The Library and Collection program makes digital historic images available online. The results of this effort are shown below.  Funding Detail Division of State History funding comes from the General Fund and federal funds, with a small portion coming from dedicated credit revenues. 2010
