Sixth Annual Symposium
PARTNERS FOR PROGRESS
Marriner Eccles, Ed Littlefield and Utah International
Marriner Eccles and Ed Littlefield were each descended from founders of the Utah Construction Company, and each served as the company's president and chairman of the board. Although they differed in generation, temperament and management style, their combined leadership transformed the company into a prosperous multi-national, poised for its eventual merger with General Electric.
In October 1999, the late Edmund Wattis Littlefield and Broken Hill Proprietary, Ltd. donated the Utah Construction/Utah International Collection to the Stewart Library Special Collections. The company archives contain more than J00 boxes of minutes, financial records, correspondence, scrapbooks, and project reports and more than half a million photographs.
For more information on the collection, including-copies of the registers, go to library.weber.edu and click on Utah Construction/Utah International.
