Our project began with an extensive documentation process. Utilizing various mediums such as video, photography, 3D scans, watercolors, and drawings, we captured artifacts throughout the building. The result was the creation of the Pantages Theater Archive, a rich collection offering a comprehensive view of this piece of Utah history. https://pta.lib.utah.edu/

Our mission for this project extended beyond documentation; we sought to democratize information and bring our community into our world of research. To support the preservation of the theater's legacy, we worked with the talented archivists at the University of Utah Marriott Library to establish a digital archive. This repository, accessible to the public through the library's website, is a historic treasure trove open to all. It invites users to explore historic decorative inspiration, delve into tales of a bygone Salt Lake City, and reflect on the lessons learned from the lifetime of an iconic gathering place on Main Street.
