Arizona Highways magazine from 1996.
For nearly 100 years, Arizona Highways magazine has captured the history and culture of the state. Their latest achievement: They’ve now digitized every issue of the storied magazine.
Robert Stieve is the editor of Arizona Highways magazine. Its purpose, really, was to tell the Arizona story. And we ve been doing that for almost 100 years.
So thousands and thousands of pages covering the history, culture, landscape, and people of Arizona. And over those years, we ve built this tremendous repository of Arizona history and information.
But it was never available digitally. And we thought that in the digital age, this is something that would make sense to have it accessible to everybody.

“I have over 4 million pages and there’s over 700 titles and growing because we’re still collecting,” Peterson said. “And they’re all published in Arizona.”
