The Tribune was first published under the name "Salt Lake Daily Tribune and Utah Mining Gazette", with its first issue on April 15, 1871, having this notice:

"Our Programme: The Daily Tribune will be a purely secular journal devoted entirely to the presentation of News and to the development of the Mining and Commercial interests of the Territory.

From this beginning, the Tribune has grown into the largest newspaper in Utah today. Read more

The Utah Digital Newspapers Program would like to extend its most sincere thanks to the Salt Lake Tribune and the Church History Library of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for the loan of their original newspapers for the creation of this collection.
