The Arizona Historical Society
In 1864 the first Territorial Legislature incorporated
the Arizona Historical Society. Since that time the society has
been successful in helping to preserve the heritage that is part of
Arizona’s history.
As a state wide organization, the society strives "to
Collect, Preserve, Interpret and Disseminate the History of Arizona,
the West, and New Mexico as it Pertains to Arizona."
The symbol for the society is often mistaken for an
Indian symbol or a fanciful “A” which can be seen at the
lower half of the symbol. In truth, this is the symbol for copper. As
copper, for over a century, has had a huge impact on the development
of the state, it seemed fitting to use it.
In the 1880’s a group of pioneering men more
or less started a club to watch out for each other and to socialize
and assist each other if one of them had needs. Additionally
they decided to place their biographies in a central location. Another
member began taking photographs and almost by accident, the society
was born.
The society operates in four cities in Arizona. They
are Yuma, Flagstaff, Tempe and Tucson.
In Tucson, three museums are run by the Historical
Society. They are the Main Museum, The Downtown Museum
and the Fort Lowell Museum.
