Repository description (extant): As a heritage institution and part of the collecting community in Arizona, our goal is to selectively collect, preserve and make available historically relevant material to current and future generations of researchers. What began in 1959 as an eclectic mix of material that reflected the AHF founders' personal interests has given way to specific areas of concentration. The focus now rests on internal strengths identified through an independent audit process of the repository's holdings. These strengths include Arizona business, law and politics.

AHF holdings include over 135 manuscript collections, 50,000 photographs and ephemera, books, artifacts, film, videos, maps, oral histories, political cartoons, microfilm and several distinctive card catalogs.

Repository Notes (CRHP): Although housed at Arizona State University, this repository is a separate entity.
