She described it as “a web archive of all the Utah writers past and present” that allows people to research and find Utah writers.” which she was commissioned to write in advance of the May 2019 statewide celebration of the 150th anniversary of the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad, when the “Golden Spike” was driven at Promontory, Utah, in 1869.
