Sedona AZ (October 9, 2018) – The Sedona Heritage Museum has announced that one of their almost 50,000 historic images of the greater Sedona area has been selected for inclusion on the 2018 Arizona Archives Month poster.
October is Archives Month, and each year, the Archives and Records Management Division of the Arizona State Library, Archives, and Public Records produces a poster highlighting materials from archives around the state. This year the state chose to honor “Arizona at War”. Submissions were to be related to the service men and women who served from or in Arizona during any war, and illustrating their stories with compelling photographs.
The local Museum’s submission was a photo from 1945. In the image, Frank and Jane Pendley’s children gathered for a photo in front of the family business, Indian Head Station, in Oak Creek Canyon when son Tom and son-in-law Leon Young were home from the service during WWII. This is at least the 4th time that a photo from the Sedona Heritage Museum’s collection has been selected to appear on an Archives Month poster.
Arizona Archives Month posters are meant to represent the collections of both large and small Arizona repositories. Over a thousand posters will be distributed to state legislators, schools, family history and genealogy groups, museums, archival repositories and government offices throughout the state. Archives Month posters are made possible through generous funding from the Arizona Historical Records Advisory Board.
The Museum is located at 735 Jordan Road in Jordan Historical Park in Uptown Sedona and is open daily 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. For more information, call 928-282-7038.
