News photograph dated 8-23-38. Writing on photograph: “Alley Oop and Foozy ride again. And Dinny the Dinosaur is the steed for the Mormons when they celebrate in carnival style at Ogden, Utah. The NEA comic characters come to life each summer as processions and parades are staged in Utah, when Mormondom marks harvest time. Here are shades of the past—the dinosaur age, even oo-la on Washington Boulevard, Ogden, as the Mormons turn back pages of history and carnival spirit reigns.”

This collection contains originals and copies of photographs collected by Dr. Richard Roberts. Most of the photographs were used in his book co-author with Dr. Richard Sadler titled “Weber County’s History.” The files may also include the caption and sidebar used in the book.

This collection contains photographs from 2 albums that were donated by Richard Roberts in 2004. The first was dismantled and the photographs arranged by subject. They include photographs of the 1919 Armistice parade in Ogden and the 1918 arrival of a British and French plane to promote the sell of war bonds. The second album remains intact and contains photographs from Ogden Canyon and buildings and scenery from Ogden.
