The University of Arizona was founded in 1885 and its first building, Old Main, opened for classes in the fall of 1891.
Everyone has a story to tell. The problem often is convincing people that others are interested in their memories, photos and observations. Once they are convinced, many people start seeking the perfect; they never think what they've written is good enough. Often, in fact, seeking the perfect prevents them from even starting.
Which is bad for us. We need your memories and photos for this engineering history project. No history, this one included, is ever really complete, and we continue to seek those photos forgotten in a shoebox or pressed beneath old yearbooks. We want those memories, no matter how plainly told. The tapestry of history is woven from many threads, not just the golden ones.
So we'll make a deal with you. Send us your memories and forget about perfect grammar, spelling or Pulitzer-Prize-winning narrative. Just send us the facts and photos, and we'll do the rest. That way, we can all share the memories.
Send your stories and photos to:

We can use most photos. But high-resolution are best. Please submit them in jpg, gif, or tiff format.
