    Sedona Heritage MuseumSedona AZ (October 20, 2020) – The Sedona Historical Society (SHS) and Sedona Heritage Museum recently received a grant from the Arizona Historical Society to catalog a portion of almost 10,000 historic photos that are scanned and stored, but need to be cataloged for easy search and access. This is the second grant this year for the Museum for this special project to catalog photos. No portion of any grant assists the Museum with overhead or operations costs.

    Prior to initiating their catalog system, SHS had thousands of historic photos, many scanned or given to them digitally. Over the years, many of these have been cataloged, but there remains a backlog in cataloging these one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable images for the future. This grant will provide for contract work to catalog these photos, making them more easily accessible to the public.

    Example of a photo that will be cataloged and made accessible through this grant. Image of Stephen Juharos’ Fine Art Studio in the early 1960s, the first art gallery in Sedona.

    These photos represent images from the 1880s to 1980s and include images of historic buildings now lost, pioneer families, arts events, real estate developments, business growth and changes, Sedona’s first architect and his work, a 1950s era Sedona photographer’s collection, social, school and community happenings, real estate deals, and all manner of daily and historically significant events, along with the people, places and happenings that defined Sedona during this time frame.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
