All ages enjoy 2023 Arizona Historymakers Exhibit

 Young and old, guests crowded the exhibit to view the 2023 Arizona Historymakers™ Exhibit October 14. A celebration of months and months of preparation by the Historical League, the ribbon cutting was met with cheers and applause.

Oral Histories integral part of Arizona Historymakers Program

 What is an Oral History Interview? a well-prepared interviewer questioning an interviewee and recording their exchange in audio or video format. Oral history is a method to learn about past events from the spoken stories of people who lived through them. It enables us to take account of those many aspects of history that are not recorded in documents.

We are so grateful to Norma Jean Coulter, Carolyn Hartman, Zona Lorig, Josephine Pete, Tom Shumard, and Diane Smith for interviewing the 2023 Arizona Historymakers.

If you ask any of the interviewers, they will tell you it is a very rewarding experience.

The audience at 2023 Arizona Historymakers Celebration enjoyed these videos at the October 14 event at AZHC.

Frank M. Barrios 2023 Arizona Historymaker

 Frank M. Barrios story is inspiring. During his interview, with the help of Carey Pena, he told us about his life and work. We gave our full attention to the BIG screen at the 2023 Arizona Historymakers™ Celebration October 14. It brought many of us to tears as we realize he is no longer with us.

He knew about being honored as a Historymaker and was so very pleased to be recognized.
