Many of the drawings and illustrations for this website came from the
Joesler/Murphey Collection at the Arizona Architectural Archives. The
mission of the Arizona Architectural Archives is to raise awareness of
Tucson’s architectural heritage as an integral part of its overall cultural
identity. Its goal is to collect, preserve, document and disseminate records
pertaining to the architectural development of southern Arizona. The continuing
operation of the Arizona Architectural Archives ensures the availability
of these cultural records for future generations. The Archives currently
operates without state support and relies on donations to maintain its
program of public service and scholarly research. The proceeds from Joesler
& Murphey book sales help fund the implementation of this mission. The
Archives are not open to the public, except by appointment only. For information
on, or access to, any of the collections at the Arizona Architectural
Archives, contact R. Brooks Jeffery at (520) 621-2991 or rbjeffer@u.arizona.edu.
