AZ Women's History Symposium

The Arizona Women’s History Alliance presents 2nd Arizona Women’s History Symposium at AZ Heritage Center at Papago Park.

Arizona Women at Work: From the Family Economy to the Workplace

Save the Date: Friday, October 7, 2016 
http://www.azlibrary.gov/events/1868

Interested in learning about the history of Arizona women? In researching and writing about Arizona women? In listening to and talking with historians who write about Arizona women? In meeting archivists and others who have research collections? 

We invite historians, researchers, archivists, librarians, museum administrators, students and history lovers. The goal of the symposium is to stimulate the audience to participate in conversations about the contributions of Arizona women representing our rich and diversified cultural and social history. It will help identify assumptions about working women’s roles, discuss the importance of placing women in historical context and stimulate thinking about the research, writing and interpretation of women’s history.
This symposium represents the second major public educational project of the Arizona Women's History Alliance (AWHA), a collaboration of the Arizona Women’s Hall of Fame and the Arizona Women’s Heritage Trail. It is an opportunity for attendees to hear and talk to notable scholars and archivists about conducting research on Arizona women, the process of historical inquiry, providing historical context and answering the “so what” questions.
With opening remarks by Arizona Secretary of State Michele Reagan, this day long symposium will acquaint attendees with the current state of Arizona women’s history.

The Symposium will be held in the Steele Auditorium at the Arizona Heritage Center at Papago Park, 1300 N. College Ave., Tepe, AZ 85281. It begins on Friday, October 7 at 8:00 a.m. until 5 p.m.

The Spicery in Our 1895 Home

Matt Borowski, owner of The Spicery

This fabulous Victorian home is so welcoming and when you smell the delicious aromas coming from the kitchen . . .

Cathy Shumard and Ruth McLeod met with owner Matt Borowski to discuss Tastes & Treasures Volume II, A Storytelling Cookbook of Historic Arizona. The 1895 home will make a lovely addition to the new cookbook.

The Glendale restaurant is undergoing a renovation this summer. Built as the Victor Messinger House, Matt has plans for an expanded outdoor patio. Can't wait to enjoy it's charm and also see the recipes Matt provides us!

Historic photos of Prescott

Twenty five years after Cookbook Co-Chair Linda Corderman started her custom art business, we find some of her first big pieces at Prescott’s historic First National Bank. The bank on the downtown square is now a charming gift shop with Linda’s beautiful framing on historic Prescott prints. While still running her flourishing business, Corderman Art Resources,  Linda’s love of history is also channeled into publishing Volume II of Tastes & Treasures, A Storytelling Cookbook of Historic Arizona. Her creativity is much appreciated by the Historical League.
