    logo_sedonamuseum2Sedona AZ (October 14, 2019) – 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 2019 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 Women: From Suffrage to Activism”. Submissions were to be related in some way to this topic, and illustrating Arizona women with compelling photographs.

    Photo selected for Arizona Archives Month poster, catalog #1000.2.1063. Maggie Thompson, wife of Oak Creek Canyon’s first Anglo settler, voted for the first time after passage of the 19th amendment with three of her sons and a neighbor.

    The local Museum’s submission was a photo of Margaret (Maggie) Thompson, wife of Oak Creek Canyon’s first Anglo settler and mother of the first white child born in the greater Sedona area, along with three of her sons and a neighbor headed out in an automobile to the nearest precinct to vote. In her case, it was Maggie’s first time casting a ballot. This is at least the 5th time that a photo from the Sedona Heritage Museum’s collection has been selected to appear on an Archives Month poster.

    The Bloody Machine
    By Tommy Acosta
    What is a life anyway? A single “life?” Is it nothing more than a collection of emotions and thoughts, reverberating pain and pleasure, hopes, dreams and fear? Are we merely meat; flesh and blood creations encapsulating what we believe is a soul?
