CATHY GILMORE is a PhD student of American history at the University of Utah and a great-granddaughter of Hyrum and June A. Smith. With a focus on lived religion, women, and family forms in the twentieth century, her work brings the contributions of lay family historians and archivists into scholarly conversations. After earning a BA in English at the University of Utah in 1994, Cathy worked in the digital design and marketing fields for over two decades. During this time, she developed a personal interest in preserving and sharing ancestral records. To address the widening risk of family record loss, Cathy cofounded Kindex, a digital archive platform for privately held collections in 2016. In 2022, she earned a history MA from Utah State University. Her master's thesis uses family records to illustrate the complexities of lived religion for Latter-day Saints at the turn of the twentieth century.
