Christian Christiansen Bindrup papers
Scope and Contents
The Christian Christiansen Bindrup papers are dated inclusively from 1883 to 1936.
The type of material included in the Bindrup Collection are his class notes from BYC, 1890 and BYA, 1893, journals, diary entries, records of his personal accounts, records of church meetings in College Ward compiled while serving in the capacity of ward clerk and his certificates of appointment to his various jobs he held in serving the community. The journals and diaries contain accounts of community and church affairs around College Ward. They also have many entries pertaining to the early Utah trappers and the fur cache located just south of Hyrum.
The Collection was heavily used by John A. Hansen in researching his 1968 history of College and Young Wards, but the social, religious, and economic papers offer resources for research in numerous fields. Certainly the collection is of area-wide--if not state-wide--interest for social history and should not be considered as merely centering upon College and Young Wards.
