Collections & Histories
The Society has many photos and documents and other items from the Oro Valley area and is in the process of organizing and preserving them. Help is needed for this work. Click here if you can volunteer some time. We have purchased Museum archival software (PastPerfect) to catalog all of our collectables and hopefully some of this information will be available online for your use to search our collections. To donate a collection or item, please see Membership & Donations
