    Sedona Heritage MuseumSedona AZ (July 22, 2020) – The Sedona Historical Society (SHS) and Sedona Heritage Museum recently received a grant from the Arizona State Historical Records Advisory Board (AHRAB) to catalog a portion of almost 10,000 historic photos that are scanned, but need to be cataloged for easy search and access.

    Prior to initiating their catalog system, SHS had thousands of historic photos scanned. Over the years, many of these have been cataloged, but there remains a backlog. Also, in the past, occasionally a collection of photos was accessioned that were either scanned or brought in digitally so the photo files were captured, but cataloging and file name assignment never completed. This has now resulted in a further backlog of photo files that need to be cataloged. This grant will include cataloging and file name assignment for a portion of this backlog of one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable images for the future.

    Example of a historic photo to be cataloged as part of this grant is this image of Sedona Schnebly (right), two of her children and other family members during a holiday visit and meal in her Sedona, Arizona home, ca. 1902-05.

    These photo files represent photos 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, and the people, places and happenings who defined Sedona during this time frame.

    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? Or is a single life the microcosm and macrocosm of human life on earth, each one of us a unique representation of who we believe we are and the whole of humanity at once? We are born. We grow old. We die. Everything we experience is but a dream between those two points. Or are we manifestations of a Divine Creator, every one of us complete in the image that we were made? So, we are told.
