TITLE: AHS – Rio Colorado Biography Collection. DATE RANGE: 1850s-current CALL NUMBER: Y-MS 14 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 37 linear feet (75 boxes) PROVENANCE: Over 3,200 biographical files compiled from various sources by staff and volunteers between 1965 and 2012 comprise this collection COPYRIGHT: Unknown RESTRICTIONS: None CREDIT LINE: (Name of File), Biography Collection, Y-MS 14, Arizona Historical SocietyRio Colorado Division, Yuma PROCESSED BY: John Irwin, 2013 SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE: Biography folders are filed alphabetical by the last name of the individual or family group. Original photographs found in these files are organized within the AHS-Rio Colorado Subject Photograph Collection. A significant number of individuals also have oral histories filed alphabetically within the AHS-Rio Colorado Oral History Collection. Maiden family surnames of women are noted in parenthesis when known and are useful in connecting family groups. Also listed in parenthesis are nicknames, tribal affiliation, and towns and geographical locations other than the City of Yuma, if the person or family was particularly identified with a particular location. Artistic and creative occupations are also noted, such as writer, musician, dancer, photographer and artist. The scope of the collection is regional. In addition to Yuma County, the biographical files cover what is now La Paz County; western Maricopa County; eastern Imperial County, California, especially the Fort Yuma Quechan Reservation and Winterhaven located across the Colorado River from Yuma; Bard and the Picacho Mining District in California northwest of Yuma. The Biography Collection consists of a wide range of materials. Individual files may contain genealogy and family history information, reminiscences, interviews, resumes, obituaries, eulogies, funeral cards, newspaper and magazine articles, research notes, and occasionally original or photocopied correspondence, legal documents such as birth and death certificates, real estate deeds, wills, and family memorabilia. Many files contain only a single item, while some files are voluminous, especially those of pioneers and Yuma families of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
AHS – Rio Colorado Biography Collection – 1 of 72
Between 1993 and 2012 volunteers assembled and organized newspaper articles in the Yuma Daily Sun that featured individuals from all backgrounds. These contemporary biographical materials are included in this collection. Although the Biography Collection contains many obituaries, the files are not comprehensive nor do they contain all obituaries that may have been published in Yuma County newspapers. This is an active collection intended for adding new materials. CONTAINER LIST: Box 1
