Touring the Archives

Posted on by

We’ve had a number of requests lately for people wanting to see behind the scenes at the Polly Rosenbaum State Archives building. And since we love showing our building off, we’re happy to oblige! Just give us a call to request a special tour. If you are part of a group that is interested in getting a personalized tour, we’re happy to accommodate so long as we have plenty of notice and have time in the calendar. We do require that there are at least seven people on the tour, and we can’t take more than twenty people on each tour. This is a great idea if you are a library/archives staff from another institution, if you are a particular state agency interested in seeing what records we have from your agency, or just a group or club interested in history. Call 602.926.3720 to request information.
