Edited by Laura Woodworth-Ney at Idaho State University, it is produced by
the Center for Idaho History and Politics at Boise State University. Visit

for expanded features, educational lesson plans and more.
Three state agencies � Idaho State University, Boise State University and
the Idaho Historical Society � joined forces in fall 2004 to revive
publication of Idaho Yesterdays. The popular journal devoted to the history
of the Gem State debuted in 1957 and served as a valuable academic journal
of Idaho history for 45 years. Due to state budget cuts, publication was
suspended in 2002.
Idaho Yesterdays combines color photography with rare imprints, museum
artifacts, memoirs, reviews and academic articles. The Idaho State
Historical Society publishes Idaho Yesterdays with support from the Idaho
Humanities Council and the Redd Center for Western Studies at Brigham Young
University (Provo, Utah). The journal�s editorial board is made up of
faculty from Boise State, University of Idaho, Lewis and Clark State
College, Brigham Young University-Idaho and College of Southern Idaho.
The journal is available through the Idaho State Historical Society and is
free with membership. To purchase a copy, call (208) 334-2682; e-mail

Road, Boise, ID, 83712.
