SEARCH THE COLLECTIONS
The Library Catalog is a good starting place for locating books, maps, ephemera, and archival collections. It is searchable by keyword, title, author and format. In addition, Finding Aids are available for manuscript, photograph and audio-visual collections. An archival finding aid provides an overview of a collection and its contents. The finding aid will not list every item but will give enough detail to help you discover which sections you might want to explore further. Use the search box at the top of the page to search across all finding aids. Digitized materials from the collection are also available online.

COVID-19 NOTICE
Thank you for your interest in the Arizona Historical Society. We thank you for sharing the stories associated with your artifacts and archival materials with us for consideration by our collections review committee. Object and archival donations are always of interest, but during this extraordinary time, we are unable to physically accept any materials out of an abundance of safety for our collections, donors, and staff. In September we will review this procedure. In the meantime, please hang on to those treasures for a few months until we can safely process items.
