Archive Tucson - University of Arizona Libraries
Archive Tucson - University of Arizona Libraries
The entire population of Tucson in 1950 could fit, with plenty of seats to spare, in today's University of Arizona Stadium. Tucson grew by orders of magnitude in the second half of the twentieth century. With growth, of course, came change. The change occurred so quickly that many of yesterday’s stories, landscapes, people, and lifestyles are invisible to today's Tucsonans. This is why we record history. Archive Tucson is the University of Arizona Libraries’ ever-growing collection of interviews about life and change in Tucson and Southern Arizona. As part of a Land Grant institution, we believe that one of the most important ways to serve our community is to preserve the stories of today for the people of tomorrow. We invite you to browse our collection and start seeing Tucson in four dimensions.

Slavery & the UVA School of Law
Slavery & the UVA School of Law
Slavery and the University of Virginia School of Law is a project of the UVA Law Library that examines UVA Law’s historical connections to the institution of slavery through people, places, and pedagogy. From UVA's Academical Village, legal education in the antebellum period played out within a landscape of enslavement. In the classroom, faculty lectured on slavery as a social good. Law student notebooks, digitized and available on this site, enable this new research into the inclusion of slavery in UVA’s antebellum legal curriculum.

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is the nation's record keeper. Of all documents and materials created in the course of business conducted by the United States federal government, only 1%-3% are so important for legal or historical reasons that they are kept by us forever. Those valuable records are preserved and are available to you, whether you want to see if they contain clues about your family’s history, need to prove a veteran’s military service, or are researching a historical topic that interests you.
