Scottsdale Heritage Connection

UPDATE: We have raised over 70 percent of the funds so far.

Scottsdale Heritage ConnectionThe Friends of the Scottsdale Public Library is excited to support a $500,000 capital campaign for the Scottsdale Heritage Connection.

This permanent exhibition, slated to open in spring 2019, will incorporate 2,000 square feet inside the Civic Center Library as well as periodic exhibits of local history highlights in each of the other Scottsdale Library branches. It will include:

  • Over 10,000 photographs and images of Scottsdale, its buildings, events and residents
  • Nearly 300 audio and video interviews with Scottsdale residents highlighting the City’s rich history
  • Over 400 books, phone directories, media and high school yearbooks specific to the Scottsdale area
  • Local newspaper clippings from as early as the 1950s

The space will include computers to access the online collection and to watch and listen to recordings, a quiet research area to view historical records, display cases with local artifacts and an area to host lectures and community meetings related to local history topics.
