About the exhibit: 

Brigham Young University is, at its heart, a community—one that fosters learning, scholarship, and spiritual development. The development of this community over the past 150 years can be seen in its historical records held in the University Archives. This community is examined in the Special Collections exhibit By Study and By Faith: 150 Years of Brigham Young University which runs from August 2025 to June 2026 in the Special Collections Gallery on level 1 of the Harold B. Lee Library. We would like to invite students, staff, faculty, and alumni as well as community members to come visit the exhibit.
