According to the Arizona Archives Matrix Project, Latinos, African Americans, Asian Americans, and the LGBT community make up over 42% of Arizona’s population but are only represented in 0-2% of known archival collections.

Join ASU Library and the Arizona Capital Museum for a free educational event. Learn how to be a Community Archivist and receive a free "Archive Starter Kit" that contains preservation information and archival supplies (acid-free box, folders, mylar, and gloves). Please RSVP to ensure you will receive a kit.

The Arizona Capital Museum is currently showcasing an exhibit titled Righting a Wrong: Japanese Americans and Word War II. The exhibition explores the experiences of Japanese Americans incarcerated in the U.S. during WWII. It features artifacts from the incarceration camps as well as interactive displays featuring historic documents and personal testimonies.

ASU Library is working with local communities to preserve and improve Arizona’s archives and give a voice to historically marginalized communities. For more information about this project, please visit the Community-Driven Archives website.
