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.

Share Your Arizona Pandemic Story

The Arizona Historical Society is partnering with the ASU School of Historical, Philosophical, and Religious Studies to contribute to A Journal of the Plague Year: Covid-19 Digital Archive. We invite you to share your story of how the pandemic has impacted your life by submitting content to the Journal. In your own words, help inform future generations about what life in Arizona is like during the Covid-19 pandemic. Be sure to tag your submissions with #AZhistory. Learn more on our blog.
