Special Collections: Where the old stuff never gets old

Librarian Cherie Willis shows off the Main Library’s historical treasures

Published: Aug 31, 2025, 8:00 p.m. MDT

By Lee Benson, Lee has written slice-of-life columns for the Deseret News since 1998.

It’s 10 a.m. on a Tuesday morning, the library has just opened, and Cherie Willis is already having a good time.

Cherie is the gatekeeper for the Special Collections section of the Salt Lake City Main Library, a room chock full of treasured books, publications and other artifacts, some of them dating back well before the library’s beginnings in 1898.

For Cherie, who has a bachelor’s degree in history from the University of Utah and a master’s degree in library science from BYU, it’s clear that, to her, the old stuff never gets old. It’s like we just opened King Tut’s tomb.

The materials are all Utah related. There are no first editions of Shakespeare or Cervantes. But there is a first edition of “Route from Liverpool to Great Salt Lake Valley.” Published in 1855, the lengthy book, a long-ago precursor of Google Maps, goes into great detail describing how to get from England to the Salt Lake Valley without winding up in Bolivia.

“Getting here from England was tough,” says Cherie. “Back then it was like getting to Mars.”

Next, Cherie holds up a rare (although not first-edition) copy of “A Study in Scarlet,” a book published in 1887 by Arthur Conan Doyle that introduced Sherlock Holmes and his trusty confidant Watson to the world for the first time. The reason the book written by an Englishman and published in England is in Special Collections in Salt Lake City is because a major part of it takes place in Utah, where let’s just say Mormons (as Doyle called them) do not emerge as heroes. No one rushed to buy “Route from Liverpool to Great Salt Lake Valley” after reading this one.

To counter that, Cherie produces an early edition of “City of the Saints,” the 1862 book written by English adventurer and travel writer (think Bill Bryson a century earlier) Sir Richard Burton, who, unlike his countryman A. Conan Doyle, personally visited Salt Lake City and, as Cherie points out, “wrote nicely about us.”

There’s lots more dealing with Utah’s interconnected roots with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including a well-preserved copy of “Manuscript Found,” the unpublished and unfinished manuscript written by Solomon Spaulding in the early 1800s that critics of the church contended Joseph Smith used as the basis for the Book of Mormon.

When it comes to finding meaning in life, you need this emotion – Deseret News

When it comes to finding meaning in life, you need this emotion

A new study found hope is a ‘powerful emotional force’

Published: June 25, 2025, 11:39 a.m. MDT

By Lois M. Collins – Lois is a longtime Deseret News special projects and family issues reporter, including health, parenting, aging and policy.

KEY POINTS

• Hope is considered a ‘powerful emotional force’ that gives life meaning, exceeding the benefits of happiness or gratitude, a new study found.
• Psychology directly links hope to motivating somebody, goal setting and accomplishment, according to the researchers.
• Another study indicates hope to be more beneficial than mindfulness for dealing with extended periods of stress.

Reams of stories have been written about happiness and its contribution to a good life. We’ve all heard, too, that gratitude lifts well-being.

And while both effects are backed by science, a new study suggests that a different emotion is even more powerful when it comes to providing life with meaning, bolstering mental health and boosting resilience.

You have to have hope.

The researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia note that hope “isn’t just wishful thinking.” They describe hope as a “powerful emotional force that gives our lives meaning.” And they assert that it “may be even more essential to well-being than happiness or gratitude.”

In a news release about the study, which was published in the journal Emotion, the researchers note that the field of psychology has linked hope to motivation and setting and accomplishing goals. But researchers from the university’s Department of Psychological Sciences report that “hope stands apart as one of the strongest positive emotions that directly fosters a sense of meaning.”
