The Everton Collection at the Logan Library in Logan, Utah could use more visitors.
Last September Leland Meitzler on his excellent genealogyblog broke the following news about one of the largest private genealogical collections in the U.S.:
I really feel that I\’m being premature in posting this blog, but since the word is now circulating on the Internet, I\’m forced into it. Yes – plans are underway for the Everton library to open in early October. I will announce the actual opening when it happens.
The Everton collection, which has been unavailable to the public for over two years now, will be opening soon. Logan Library Director Ron Jenkins has been interviewing potential librarians for the collection – and earlier this month, Jenkins hired Jason Cornelius, who is moving from Salt Lake City to Logan. Cornelius will be a full-time librarian, cataloging and overseeing the daily operations of the collection.
