ARCHIVAL RESEARCH: SUGGESTIONS & TIPS Forum by Jim Turner
Jim Turner moved to Tucson in 1951 and has been researching Southwestern history for thirty-six years. He retired from the Arizona Historical Society in 2009 and is now a freelance writer, editor, teacher, and lecturer. He received his Master of Arts in U.S. history from the University of Arizona in 1999, and is co-author of the 4th grade textbook THE ARIZONA STORY.
Turner writes for several newspapers and magazines, including, The Journal of Arizona History and Arizona Highways. His pictorial history book, Celebrate Arizona, will be released by Gibbs Smith Publishers in December, 2011. “I will cover not only Southwest research, but also touch on global history for those not writing about Arizona. It’s about research and archival tips and tricks.”
