Edward Girard Hale Papers (Ms 653)
J. Willard Marriott Library, University of Utah
Manuscripts Division
The Edward Girard Hale Papers (1850-1950, 1994, 1997) contains genealogical information concerning the Armstrong and
Hale Families. It is a good source for learning about the Hale family in particular. It provides information on the
architecture of Salt Lake City, due to the presence of a number of documents documenting the life and work of Frederick Albert
Hale, a prominent local architect at the turn of the century. The collection also provides information on Hale's son, Girard
Van Barkaloo Hale, an artist who was Edward Girard Hale's uncle. Records of the Francis Armstrong family include photocopies
of portrait photographs, pedigree charts, biographies, correspondence, estate records, and other documents concerning this
family. Records of the Hale family, especially the records concerning the history of Frederick Albert Hale, include
genealogical records, additional portraits, news clippings and articles regarding Frederick Hale, a diary, and additional
documents. Documents, including biographical articles and news clippings, and artwork regarding Girard Van Barkaloo Hale, a
prominent artist in Utah and California, is also present. An indexed register is available.
