Organization description

The Arizona Historical Society (AHS) is proud to serve as the steward of Arizona’s history. Our collections broadly represent Arizona history that offers a one-of-a-kind resource for Arizona history. Our artifact and manuscript holdings offer unique opportunities for public programming, educational outreach, and exhibitions, as well as academic and community-based research. AHS collections provide premier resources for recounting Arizona’s past, and they are invaluable tools for promoting public understanding of contemporary issues such as water availability, immigration, free trade, mining, ranching and agribusiness, the defense industry, cultural diversity, and urban development and revitalization.

Project description

The Arizona Historical Society is hosting a series of three workshops in Tempe (1/24/26), Flagstaff (2/7/26), and Tucson (3/28/26) for rural educators, the 2026 Rural Teacher National History Day Workshops, an immersive, two-day professional development experience focused on teaching with primary and secondary sources. These workshops will provide teachers with the tools needed to teach their students (4th-12th grade) to move beyond textbooks by learning how to analyze evidence, ask meaningful questions, and build historical arguments.
