As a nonprofit educational and advocacy organization, Arizona Archives Alliance serves as an advocate for Arizona’s historical archives and their users.
AZAA brings attention to the poor condition of many of the state’s historical records, and to the risks such neglect poses to the study and preservation of Arizona’s history. It works to ensure that the public has full access to historical records, not only at the State Archives but also at local government agencies. And it supports adequate funding and staffing for the Arizona State Archives and other institutions with archival holdings.
What You Can Do to Help
Contact state officials and your legislators to advise them of the importance of this vital state institution. Ask that the regular hours of the State Archives be returned to forty hours per week.
Letters that describe specific instances of reduced access, or discuss how specific projects were affected by the reduced hours, are especially welcome.
