AHS-Papago Park Ephemera Collection TITLE: Arizona Historical Society – Papago Park Ephemera Collection DATE RANGE: Territorial Arizona – present CALL NUMBER: PP-EPH PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 120 linear feet (211 document boxes) PROVENANCE: From 2012-2014 all ephemeral and vertical file materials from multiple donors and locations were evaluated and consolidated to form a unified ephemera collection that could grow into the future. Recognition should be given to the thousands of donors and thousands of volunteer hours who collected and organized these materials. COPYRIGHT: Copyright varies RESTRICTIONS: None CREDIT LINE: Ephemera Collection, PP-EPH, Box/Folder #, Arizona Historical Society – Papago Park PROCESSED BY: Michelle Bickert, 2012-2014 HISTORICAL NOTE: The Ephemera Collection is an active, artificial collection featuring donations from multiple sources. The Ephemera Files donated to AHS by the Arizona Historical Foundation (AHF) comprise the core of this collection. Files from the AHS vertical files and Small Manuscripts collection were integrated during the process of removing duplicates, combining files, and evaluating the physical condition of these materials. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE: The Ephemera Collection is the largest ready reference collection in the AHS-Papago Park archives, containing approximately ten thousand items. Ephemeral materials were created for immediate rather than long-term use such as pamphlets, brochures, advertisements. It represents a wide range of social, economic, cultural and ethnic communities reflecting the spectrum of human activity, past and present, with an emphasis on mid-20th century Phoenix. The folder contents vary widely between one document and several. The files contain both primary and secondary sources, originals and photocopies, including but not limited to: newspaper clippings, programs, reports, fliers, promotional materials, tickets, brochures, advertisements, and articles. It is arranged alphabetically by subject headings and/or geographic place names. The researcher is advised to perform key word searches to locate material on a specific topic. For example, material on programming at Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium is located under “Arts & Leisure: Theater, Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium.” The development and history of the building is located under “Architecture: Theaters, Tempe – Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium.” These distinctions are explained in greater detail below.

These broad subjects are broken into more narrow subjects under each heading and arranged alphabetically and then by date, when known. What follows are highlights and definitions for certain selected headings. Advertisements features items specifically aimed at promoting or selling a product, regardless of category. It contains many blotters from the Helen J. Sullivan Collection. Architecture materials are related to a building itself, not its function. It also includes historic preservation and buildings on local, state, and national registers. Arts & Leisure is a broad category that includes hobbies, festivals and entertainment, and organizations related to cultural and historical activities. It includes a robust collection of midcentury performing arts programs. Business & Economy includes businesses that are not found in other categories. For example, Phelps Dodge is located under mining, while Diamonds Department Store is under Retail in Business & Economy. Communication & Media is comprised of materials related to print and other forms of media for communication, including newspapers, film, radio, and television. Periodicals related to a certain subject can be found under that subject heading but a general publication can be found here. Arizona Business is in Business & Economy: Periodicals, while the Arizona Republic is in Communication & Media: Newspapers. There are great examples of greeting cards for myriad events spanning the twentieth century. Military contains an excellent collection of original ephemera from World War II, including correspondence, military publications, maps, and pin-ups. Although historic sites and parks are in Places, all information relating to forts and camps, even as tourist sites, can be found here. Organizations features social and civic organizations that do not fall under another heading. For example, the 4-H Club is in Agriculture: Organizations, while the Kiwanis Club is under Organizations. People is a broad category that includes information about groups of people, e.g. ethnic groups, the LGBT+ community, women, and pioneer Arizonans. It also includes themes related to aspects of life not included elsewhere, such as holidays, burials, and pets. Lists of notable individuals are under this heading, while materials related to a specific individual can be found in the Biography Collection. Places is organized alphabetically and by date and largely includes travel brochures and histories. Arizona and Phoenix have numerous materials promoting tourism spanning the 20th century.

College Avenue, Tempe, AZ 85281 Phone: 480-387-5355, Email: [email protected] Planning & Development is specifically focused on the growth & development of areas, not the place itself. This includes real estate, commercial development, and population growth. Science, Technology, & Environment largely contains materials concerning the natural environment. For example, information is focused on the physiography of a particular place and not its recreational amenities. Sports & Recreation includes original brochures from popular sporting events like Arizona State University football and the Phoenix Open. The articles on stadiums comprehensively document the struggles to build stadiums for the Arizona Cardinals and Phoenix Coyotes. Materials here are focused on activity, not place. For example, water sports on Lake Powell may be found here, while information on the lake itself is under Water. Transportation highlights include bond issues, highways, public transportation, railroads, and stage lines. Water inherently contains the story of Arizona’s development through dams, irrigation, and water rights. The legal battles over the Colorado River are well documented from the 1920s to the 2000s. The Central Arizona Project is in this category, but the Salt River Project is in Energy & Utilities.

  • (SHPO) Has Been Tasked with Keeping a List of Arizona's Historic
    A.R.S. § 41-511.04 The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) has been tasked with keeping a list of Arizona’s Historic Cemeteries. The list will reside in the SHPO office. There are many dedicated volunteers across our state that have researched and filled out forms so that cemeteries and gravesites across the Arizona might be recorded. The attached table is a current list of those cemeteries documented. This is a very basic list, which includes county, cemetery name, and city. The forms (some with photographs) are located in the SHPO office for storage and research purposes. Column headed with “50 +” √ The data shown is a column for those cemeteries that are 50 years old more o Documentation of cemetery age o Date on a grave marker or cemetery gate Column headed with a “?” √ There is reasonable evidence the cemetery or gravesite is over 50 years old, but nothing can be found to document its age. Some indicators are: o Appearance of the cemetery or gravesite o Local information (anecdotal) o Location and/or name of the cemetery or gravesite Column headed with “New” √ Forms received for cemeteries that are not old enough to qualify o Some of them only have a few years to go before they will become eligible to be listed as historic. o Some need additional information to make any sort of determination We are always looking for additional information on a cemetery already on our list including photographs. There are also cemeteries and gravesites out there for which we haven’t received a form.

  • Interview with Edna Meyer and Retha (Bolding) Beveridge ______
    INTERVIEW WITH EDNA MEYER AND RETHA (BOLDING) BEVERIDGE ________________________________________________________________________ An interview conducted by Jerry Abbitt with long time friends, Edna Meyer and Retha (Bolding) Beveridge. Edna graduated from Glendale High School in 1918 and Retha graduated in 1926. They were interviewed on four different days, May 12, 1992, May 18, 1992, August 6, 1992, and August 28, 1992. UV: [Inaudible] JA: What I got out of that was that George Vancil? RB: Vencil. V-E-N-C-I-L, Edna, or S-I-L? EM: V-E-N-S-I-L. [Glendale City Directories list the name V-E-N-S-E-L.] JA: S-I-L. Okay, now start with him. He got a pair of peacocks? EM: From a Mexican woman. JA: Okay. EM: His aunt, Emma Wilky (who was also my aunt) wanted the first pair he raised. So he raised a pair and gave them to my aunt. Then he decided to sell the remaining pair and mother [Clara E. Wilky Meyer] bought them from him for $5.00. JA: What a buy! [Laughter] EM: Because he wanted a gun. JA: Okay. EM: When Mr. Vensel brought the peacocks over their legs [were] tied together. When he took the hen out of the buggy she flopped and broke her leg. My mother was very upset about that. My dad [John J. Meyer] said he could fix it. He splintered her leg and that was the beginning of the peacock flock. She got well. JA: She got well. Hobbled around a bit? EM: Oh yes, she was able to hobble and fly onto the roost but she was lame.
