Arizona Collection

The Arizona Collection is a continuation of the 1864 Territorial Library. As such, it contains many items not found in other libraries.

The collection represents Arizona history. The collection spans territorial and statehood days, and continues to the 20th and 21st centuries. Materials include Arizona histories from the early days of the territory and statehood, biographies and autobiographies, Indigenous history and culture, and items of archaeological and anthropological interest. 

Not all materials from the Arizona Collection are or can be digitized. The physical collection is located in the Polly Rosenbaum Archives and History Building, 1901 West Madison, Phoenix, AZ 85009-5229.
