Arizona Newspapers

Newspapers are a rich and valuable resource for library patrons. Not only do they reflect the time in which they were created, but they provide a glimpse back into our communities. They allow researchers to see how people viewed an event when it happened, and trace the development over time. They help show how we celebrated, governed ourselves, faced conflict, and marveled at new technological advances. In short, they capture the everyday life of the people and places of Arizona.
