The Arizona Archives Alliance (AzAA) is undertaking some new and exciting projects for the upcoming year. These projects are designed to meet the needs of archivists and archives across the state. We continued to support the Arizona State Archives by providing over $2,000 to the Arizona State Archives for the purchase of 6 PEM2 Dataloggers. You can find out more by visiting our Current Projects page.
We are also putting our resources behind the Arizona Archives Online project. The mission of Arizona Archives Online (AAO) is to provide free public access to descriptions of archival collections, preserved and made accessible by Arizona repositories, including libraries, special collections, archives, historical societies, and museums. Through the collaboration of the Arizona repositories we strive to inform, enrich, and empower the researcher by creating and promoting access to a vast array of primary sources across the state of Arizona. The AAO needs money to maintain and grow this exciting project. AzAA is undertaking a fundraising drive to help raise money for this worthwhile project. To contribute, please visit our Current Projects page.
Finally, anyone who grew up in the Phoenix metro area between 1954 and 1989 is familiar with the Wallace and Ladmo Show. Sixty-three of these precious videotapes still exist in their original broadcast format. These 2-inch quadruplex tapes are part of the archival collection at the Arizona Historical Society Museum in Papago Park. AzAA is undertaking a fundraising drive to help convert these tapes to digital format for long term storage. To contribute, please visit our Current Projects page.
Remember, AzAA is a 501c3 organization and all donations are tax deductable.
