    logo_sedonamuseum2Sedona AZ (October 22, 2019) – The Sedona Heritage Museum recently received a grant from the Arizona Historical Society (AHS) for the continuation of their effort to digitize Sedona Red Rock Newspapers from its first issue in 1963 to present.

    “Currently these newspapers exist on microfilm at the Sedona Public Library and are not easily search-able.”, said Sedona Historical Society President, Janeen Trevillyan. “This grant will digitize and add OCR, or word search capability to the electronic files, and the files will meet Library of Congress standards for digital preservation.”

    This grant will continue work initiated with a grant from the Arizona Community Foundation-Sedona. Upon exhaustion of the AHS grant, there will still be over 30 years of newspapers left to be digitized. The Sedona Red Rock News, Sedona Public Library and Arizona State Library Archives & Public Records have all been instrumental in assisting the Museum in the project thus far.

    AHS awarded over $35,000 in grants to 22 museums and historical organizations across Arizona during this last grant cycle. These grants support the preservation and exhibition of Arizona history across the state. Projects range from public programming, improvement of exhibitions, collections storage improvements, preservation of artifacts or documents, and equipment to facilitate audience engagement.

    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.
