“Stories of Resilience Opens at the Arizona History Museum in Tucson
The Arizona Historical Society is proud to announce a new exhibit at the Arizona History Museum in Tucson titled Stories of Resilience: Overcoming Adversity in Arizona History. For this exhibit, the Arizona Historical Society presents several perspectives of human resilience – from Arizona’s past to the present. These are the stories of ordinary people facing extraordinary situations, who found the will and a way to survive. Their individual and collective stories of resilience serve as a reminder that humans are innately resilient, with the ability to overcome nearly impossible obstacles.

Connecting People through the Power of Arizona’s History
The Arizona Historical Society is embarking on a new chapter in its history. Our freshly-launched mission statement, “Connecting people through the power of Arizona’s history,” communicates our commitment to engaging with people to share the excitement, lessons and power of our collective history. Similarly, our new vision statement, “To be the driving force strengthening Arizona’s communities by promoting history through leadership, partnership, and scholarship,” demonstrates our role and responsibility as the leader in Arizona history.
Over the next few months we will share more details about the changes that are underway. We hope you will share in our excitement as we write the next chapters of the Arizona Historical Society story.
