Dear Members & Friends: It has been my pleasure to serve aspresident of the Arizona Historical Society for the past year. I want to thank all of you for your continuing interest, support, and involvement in everything that the Arizona Historical Society has to offer. As Arizona moves into its second century of statehood, the economic realities of the day dictate limits to public fi nancial support and increased competition for fewer private donor resources. Most other governmental agencies and historical associations of all kinds are faced with a similar situation. The challenge of doing more with fewer resources requires creativity, collaboration, and thinking “outside the box.” The Arizona Historical Society is at the forefront in its efforts to fi nd ways to maximize effi ciencies in the use of resources throughout the state. In Northern Arizona, the Arizona Historical Society has partnered with Arizona State Parks in keeping the Riordan Mansion State Historic Park in Flagstaff open to the
public for tours, lectures, and other events. An essential part of this successful agency collaboration is the contribution of volunteers through the Riordan Action Network volunteer organization and others with an interest in the vitality of the park, including the City of Flagstaff. The Arizona Historical Society’s efforts in coordinating all of these interested parties have resulted in an open and vibrant facility that showcases signifi cant architecture and history in Northern Arizona. Another example of multi-agency collaboration is now underway in Yuma, where the Arizona Historical Society is working with the City of Yuma, the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area, and the Yuma County Historical Society in developing a Yuma Museum Campus to showcase the history and economic signifi cance of Yuma and the Lower Colorado River region. The Arizona Historical Society’s Sanguinetti House, Mellon Home, and Molina Block facilities are components of this project to which the Arizona Historical Society will contribute its museum management, exhibit, and archival curation expertise. In Southern Arizona, the Arizona Historical Society is continuing its collaboration with the City of Tucson and the Ben’s Bells Project―a nonprofi t agency―to preserve and revitalize Tucson’s Charles O. Brown House, one of Southern Arizona’s oldest surviving adobe structures. Central to these efforts are the continuing contributions of many individual and corporate volunteers who have donated
time, expertise, and materials to this effort, along with the creative use of the facility by the Ben’s Bells Project. This past spring, in conjunction with its state board meeting at the Pioneer Living History Museum in Phoenix, the Arizona Historical Society hosted a “conclave” of museums and history organizations from throughout the state for the purpose of sharing information and expertise relevant to museum operation, organization, and management. This collaborative effort is vital to the effi cient and effective use of resources, and the exchange of ideas is helpful in navigating the current challenges faced by history organizations. The Arizona Historical Society is committed to continuing these information-sharing efforts through future conclaves and other educational activities. Since its founding in 1864, the Arizona Historical Society has evolved, and repeatedly reinvented itself, in order to maintain relevance and vitality in telling the story of Arizona. The efforts highlighted above are part of this ongoing evolution. I invite everyone to become involved and fi nd a niche where you can participate in our journey.
Many thanks and regards,
Michael R. UrmanPresident, AHS Board of Directors
AHS revenues declined signifi cantly (over 27%) from fi scal year 2011-12 to fi scal year 2012-13. Because the Museum at Papago Park was removed from the rent rolls by the state legislature in FY 2011-12, the AHS appropriations were reduced by the level of the rent payment ($1.1 million). Donations and earned income both decreased slightly as AHS came out of the funding efforts tied to the state’s centennial anniversary. However, these decreases were offset by larger increases in grant funding. AHS expenditures saw the same dramatic decrease due to the Museum at Papago Park rent elimination. Salaries and benefi ts also decreased as a result of staffi ng vacancies. AHS continues to address rising utility costs by making investments in its building maintenance systems. In spite of all challenges, AHS revenues exceeded expenditures for FY 2012-13.

Dear Friends: On February 24, 150 years ago, President Lincoln signed legislation that created Arizona Territory, one month after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect. It was a tumultuous year, marked by some of the bloodiest struggles of the American Civil War—the battles of Chancellorsville, Fredericksburg and Gettysburg, the sieges of Chattanooga and Vicksburg, and raids by Forrest and Quantrill. Looking back to 1863 from our vantage in 2013, history clearly shows the inexorable erosion of Confederate strength in favor of the Union. The Arizona Historical Society was formed in the context of these panoramic events. One of the initial actions taken by the First Territorial Legislature in the following year was the establishment of a historical society to collect and preserve all “objects relating to the history of the Territory” (but more on that subject when the Arizona Historical Society celebrates its own sesquicentennial in 2014). If we have learned anything about history, it is that it is a play of many acts performed on a vast stage. For example, at about that time and closer to home, miners sought gold near Prescott, which led to the founding of that community and its designation as Arizona’s
first capital city. The skirmish at Picacho Peak (“the westernmost battle of the Civil War”), in 1863, reminded Arizonans of their connection to events in the east and ensured the continuation of mining exploration and settlement in southern Arizona that had been interrupted by the Civil War. Frederick Brunckow’s discovery of gold and silver ore in present-day Cochise County in the late 1850s had ignited the spark that flamed brightest in Ed Schieffelin’s famous strike and the founding of Tombstone nearly two decades later. Eighteen sixty-three can also be remembered for groundbreaking on the western segment of the First Transcontinental Railroad near Sacramento, California, as well as the incorporation of the National Academy of Sciences. Popular songs of the day included “Oh, My Darling Clementine,” “When Johnny Comes Marching Home,” and “All Quiet Along the Potomac Tonight.” In France, the Paris Observatory began publishing weather maps, which, 150 years later, have become a staple of nightly news reports, while in London, William Banting published his Letter on Corpulence, purportedly the first popular low-carbohydrate diet. And, of all the important documents signed or penned by President Lincoln that year―remember the Gettysburg Address―he officially designated the last Thursday in November as Thanksgiving Day. Certainly, history is nothing if not varied. AHS gives voice to the variety and richness of Arizona history―the stories of its people and groups whose roots link us to different lands and traditions―in exhibitions, through programs in multiple formats, and in museum, library, and archive collections. Audiences can meet a 19th-century street vendor, sheriff, photographer, entrepreneur, or judge, alongside 20th- and 21st-century politicians, ranchers, social workers, Tohono O’odham farmers, entertainers, civil servants, and business leaders, to name but a few
among the many who make up the past and present Arizona community. Our “Mapping the Territory” exhibition connects visitors to history through museum and archival collections. They can follow shifting boundaries displayed on rare historic maps, meet men and women of the day, and view rare objects and personal belongings. Taking a patently different course, and recognizing that history also encompasses the baffling, AHS staff exhibited the Silverbell Artifacts. It may be characteristic of human nature to create historic puzzles―Scotland’s “Nessie” is a well-known example―but Arizona has its own mystery in the form of relics purportedly of “Roman” origin. Whoever produced them, the Silverbell Artifacts are a popular draw whenever they are displayed; it seems everyone likes a good story. Less controversial, but equally appealing, are traveling displays of Arizona’s geologic past, mining history, and significant mineral collections, as well as components of the centennial “100 Years ~ 100 Quilts” exhibit, both of which have reached communities in all corners of the state. For the serious researcher, library and archival collections are being processed and made accessible at an accelerated rate. The index to The Journal of Arizona History is now available on-line through the AHS website, and the entire back run of articles is accessible through JSTOR. Increased public access to AHS resources, using a variety of formats, is one of our core values and a commitment to our constituents. We invite you to discover history at the Arizona Historical Society. We wish you an enjoyable journey.

Dear F
riends:
On
February 24,
150 years
ago, President
Lincoln signed
legislation that
created Arizona Territory, one m
onth after the E
mancipation Proclam
ation took effect. It w
as a tumultuous year, m
arked by some
of the bloodiest struggles of the Am
erican C
ivil War—
the battles of Chancellorsville,
Fredericksburg and Gettysburg, the sieges
of Chattanooga and V
icksburg, and raids by Forrest and Q
uantrill.
Looking back to 1863 from our vantage
in 2013, history clearly shows the inexorable
erosion of Confederate strength in favor of
the Union. The A
rizona Historical Society
was form
ed in the context of these panoramic
events. O
ne of
the initial
actions taken
by the First Territorial Legislature in the follow
ing year was the establishm
ent of a historical
society to
collect and
preserve all “objects relating to the history of the Territory” (but m
ore on that subject when the
Arizona H
istorical Society celebrates its own
sesquicentennial in 2014).
If we have learned anything about history,
it is that it is a play of many acts perform
ed on a vast stage. For exam
ple, at about that time
and closer to home, m
iners sought gold near Prescott, w
hich led to the founding of that com
munity and its designation as A
rizona’s
first capital city. The skirmish at Picacho
Peak (“the westernm
ost battle of the Civil
War”), in 1863, rem
inded Arizonans of their
connection to events in the east and ensured the continuation of m
ining exploration and settlem
ent in southern Arizona that had been
interrupted by the Civil W
ar.
Frederick Brunckow
’s discovery of gold and silver ore in present-day C
ochise County
in the late 1850s had ignited the spark that flam
ed brightest in Ed Schieffelin’s fam
ous strike and the founding of Tom
bstone nearly tw
o decades later. Eighteen sixty-three can
also be remem
bered for groundbreaking on the w
estern segment of the First Transcontinental
Railroad
near Sacram
ento, C
alifornia, as
well as the incorporation of the N
ational A
cademy of Sciences. Popular songs of the
day included “Oh, M
y Darling C
lementine,”
“When Johnny C
omes M
arching Hom
e,” and “A
ll Quiet A
long the Potomac Tonight.”
In France, the Paris O
bservatory began publishing w
eather maps, w
hich, 150 years later, have becom
e a staple of nightly news
reports, while in London, W
illiam B
anting published
his L
etter on
Corpulence,
purportedly the first popular low-carbohydrate
diet. And, of all the im
portant documents
signed or penned by President Lincoln that year―
remem
ber the Gettysburg A
ddress―he officially designated the last Thursday in N
ovember as Thanksgiving D
ay. Certainly,
history is nothing if not varied.
AH
S gives
voice to
the variety
and richness of A
rizona history―the stories of
its people and groups whose roots link us to
different lands and traditions―in exhibitions,
through programs in m
ultiple formats, and
in museum
, library, and archive collections. A
udiences can meet a 19th-century street
vendor, sheriff, photographer, entrepreneur, or judge, alongside 20th- and 21st-century politicians, ranchers, social w
orkers, Tohono O
’odham farm
ers, entertainers, civil servants, and business leaders, to nam
e but a few
among the m
any who m
ake up the past and present A
rizona comm
unity.
Our “M
apping the Territory” exhibition connects visitors to history through m
useum
and archival collections. They can follow
shifting boundaries displayed on rare historic m
aps, meet m
en and wom
en of the day, and view
rare objects and personal belongings.
Taking a patently different course, and recognizing that history also encom
passes the baffling, A
HS staff exhibited the Silverbell
Artifacts. It m
ay be characteristic of human
nature to create historic puzzles―Scotland’s
“Nessie”
is a
well-know
n exam
ple―but
Arizona has its ow
n mystery in the form
of relics purportedly of “R
oman” origin. W
hoever produced them
, the Silverbell Artifacts are a
popular draw w
henever they are displayed; it seem
s everyone likes a good story.
Less controversial, but equally appealing, are traveling displays of A
rizona’s geologic past, m
ining history, and significant mineral
collections, as well as com
ponents of the centennial “100 Years ~ 100 Q
uilts” exhibit, both of w
hich have reached comm
unities in all corners of the state. For the serious researcher, library and archival collections are being processed and m
ade accessible at an accelerated rate. The index to T
he Journal of Arizona H
istory is now available on-line
through the AH
S website, and the entire back
run of articles is accessible through JSTOR
. Increased public access to A
HS resources,
using a variety of formats, is one of our core
values and a comm
itment to our constituents.
W
e invite you to discover history at the A
rizona Historical Society. W
e wish you an
enjoyable journey.

arm regards,
