And finally in 1884, after they talked about it for about three or four years, a group of these pioneers got together, officially organized what they called the Arizona pioneers Historical Society. In 1984, this organization celebrated its 100th anniversary with great hoopla. We did a dance as they did to commemorate their first year of founding. Like a lot of organizations in those days.

Almost 90% of our total operating budget comes from tax funds. In those statutes, we are directed to collect and preserve, disseminate, publish exhibit, materials that relate to the history of Arizona. So we're limited by the geographical boundaries of Arizona in our collecting processes. That goes for artifact material, as well as archival material, although because of our antecedents and our relationships with Sonora, and Mexico, Spain, even in those early years became necessary to concentrate on gathering materials that would reflect that early history as well. Our charge, I think, is to while we collect and preserve and make available all these materials, were basically or we should be thought of as an intellectual, educational institution, I think the best role we can play is to use the facilities we have, whether they're physical or intellectual, to teach our children, that the historical discipline is an important element in their lives that if they study history, they'll become better citizens, they'll have greater perspective on what their lives mean today. And basically, that's what those early pioneers were trying to do was to accumulate the materials that would give those who came after them in Arizona some appreciation for what it took to build a state of Arizona to, for them to understand how it got where it is today. And my point of view is that history is an individual experience. We can go to museums and appreciate those items on exhibit. for nostalgic reasons, we may see a lace doily that somebody's at many dead and say Oh, I remember that my grandmother did doilies, too.

And I was done by the tremendous amount of artifacts and collections that you have there. And I came into one section and I had a little nostalgia trip of my own because here was a collection of our family doctor, and there was a stethoscope he'd put on my chest and some of his tools. And I think it's fascinating for people to realize that you have so many things that you can have continuous shows through the year. And you do that you have shows that really attract great crowds. Am I correct on that?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1978/collection_resources/74363/file/160223#t=1319.0,1356.999"},{"id":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1978/collection_resources/74363/file/160223/transcript/38318/annotation/25","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"UNKNOWN SPEAKER: There's good response for special exhibits, but also in in continual visitation of people who bring friends who come to Tucson, there's good. There's good visitation. One of my great frustrations is that, like the proverbial proverbial iceberg, there's an awful lot of material that really needs to be shown that collection of your family doctor ought to be on exhibit right now. But the collections are so large, the public exhibit space limited so that you pick and choose and try to rotate a bit. One of the difficulties we have is that while we have funds from the state of Arizona to pay for the heat, light and water and the maintenance of the building, and that sort of thing, our exhibit program suffers because we must go out and raise that funding from private sources. But I would love to have every item that we have on exhibit if we had enough space. Now our curator curators will argue with that because they they think that like human beings, artifacts need rest. You need to get them away from exhibit out from under the lights for a period of time and put them back into the absolutely controls conditions in which they exist with humidity controls and temperature controls.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1978/collection_resources/74363/file/160223#t=1357.0,1431.999"},{"id":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1978/collection_resources/74363/file/160223/transcript/38318/annotation/26","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"UNKNOWN SPEAKER: Real briefly, Jim, somebody is very interested in pioneer life in the history of Arizona.
