History
Arizona Archives Alliance, formerly Friends of Arizona Archives (FAzA), was founded in January 1997 to promote the construction of a new storage and research facility for the Arizona State Archives. After a long and arduous campaign by a grassroots coalition of archives users and supporters in which FAzA played a major role, a new archives building was authorized by the Arizona legislature in 2004. Construction of the Polly Rosenbaum Archives and History Building began in January 2007. In late 2008 staff members began moving records into the building, a state-of-the-art facility with modern storage equipment, full environmental controls, and robust security.
