How would I cite a history from Daughters of Utah Pioneers museum and a history from International Society Daughters of Utah Pioneers using Evidence Explained Revised Third Edition? 

They sent me copies of multiple histories they have on my ancestors that I am citing in my ICAPGen accredidation project.

awesson, are these histories published or unpublished? That distinction is basic to how you'd cite them. If published you'd cite them as a book. If unpublished, you'd cite them as a manuscript. Those are radically different formats because access is radically different. With books (unless very rare) we can find them at many libraries and book dealers; publication data is essential. With manuscripts, they usually exist in only one repository and within a specific collection/record group/ etc. that also needs identifying. EE has examples for both, as well as variations for various quirks.
