"In this essay, we use quantitative methods to explore some broad trends in Utah historiography as seen through the state historical journal Utah Historical Quarterly (hereafter UHQ). Utah historiography encompasses much more than just UHQ. But as a key publication for the Utah State Historical Society, the quarterly has nevertheless been a central component of how the history of Utah has been told. Our assumption is, therefore, that UHQ reflects many of the broader trends in Utah history. Those familiar with Utah history and Utah historiography likely will not be too surprised by our findings, especially our confirmation that the writing of Utah history has tended to focus on white Mormon men. However, by outlining some of the 'longer arcs of change' in Utah history, we hope this distant reading of UHQ will provide some additional data points in the ongoing conversation regarding the past, present, and future of writing Utah history."
