Arizona Pioneers' Home c. 1912 |
This is an index to the Arizona Pioneers' Home records.
The Home was established by the Territory of Arizona in
1911 in order to take care of aged and infirm
Arizonans. Initially, a “men only” institution
(principally miners), a woman's wing was added in 1916.
Today the Pioneers' Home admits “pioneers” who are
at least 70 years of age and have been an Arizona resident for at least 50 years. For
additional information about the home, its history or
admittance requirements visit http://www.azph.gov/
In 2002 Pat Potter and Sue Kissel re-evaluated all
Arizona Pioneers' Home records that had been donated to
the Sharlot Hall Museum Archives as microfilm and found
the original index mistakenly left many names off, and
was divided into three parts based on the years
produced (1911-1946, 1946-1972, and 1972-2010). Here is
the complete index with corrections.
