    logo_sedonamuseumSedona AZ (May 22, 2013) – The Sedona Heritage Museum recently completed the third phase of a multi-year program to digitize approximately 14,000+ photo images taken by long-time Sedona writer and photographer, Elizabeth Rigby.

    This project was made possible with a grant from the Arizona Historical Records Advisory Board (AHRAB) and matching funds from the Museum’s Board.

    20130522_barry-goldwater0671This phase of the program included sorting, cataloging, archival re-storage and scanning of over 1200 negatives ranging from the 1960s to 1970s. “With this completed work, we have preserved about half of the Rigby Collection.”, said Museum Historian, Janeen Trevillyan. Through the process the Museum has discovered some real gems, i.e., early photos of renown sculptor John Waddell, Sen. Barry Goldwater in a variety of roles with local residents, a rare photo of Sedona’s own legislator-rancher Kel Fox, and insightful images of Sedona families, children and lost places.

    The Museum has written another grant to AHRAB and hopes to be able to continue this project with another phase. AHRAB’s mission is to increase access to and preserve historical materials. Digitization of photos not only insures these images will survive their physical form, but it makes it easier for them to be viewed and researched through the Museum’s electronic catalog system.

    The Sedona Heritage Museum is operated by the Society Historical Society in Jordan Historical Park at 735 Jordan Rd in Uptown Sedona, AZ. For more information and to view some of the newly cataloged images, call 928-282-7038.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
