Cache Valley portfolio
Scope and Contents
These photographs were taken by A.J. (Jeff) Simmonds, former Curator of Special collections and Archives, and a student assistant, Wayne G. Jaggi, in April of 1971. The photographer's aim was to document historic structures in Cache Valley. Simmonds provided detailed information about each structure, including the year built, materials, specific details such as gables, and sometimes even the cost of construction. For a number of years the collection was missing. In 1996 it was discovered to be at the offices of the Herald Journal in Logan. Unfortunately, the collection was subjected to significant water damage during this time. The prints were made from 120mm negatives which are currently missing.

Abstract
Black & white photographs taken by A.J. Simmonds and Wayne G. Jaggi in April 1971, documenting historic buildings in Cache Valley (Utah and Idaho).

Buildings pictured include LDS churches, city buildings, residences, and farm buildings. The collection is broken into two parts; one for the Simmonds photographs and one for the Jaggi photographs. The order of the prints is the order that Simmonds originally gave them when they were known as Portfolio 11 and Portfolio 12. The prints were made from 120 mm negatives which are currently missing.
