“We are excited to have this collection of oral histories from the Portal-Rodeo area represented in the Arizona Memory Project," said Amadee Ricketts, the Cochise County Library District director. "All of these videos were created originally for this project, and they tell fascinating stories about this unique area on the Arizona-New Mexico southern border and the people who have lived there.”

Researchers of the Portal-Rodeo Stories collection on the Arizona Memory Project can view it indefinitely and on any digital device at http://go.azsos.gov/portalrodeo.

For questions about this or any digital collection, or for cultural institutions interested in sharing collections on the Arizona Memory Project, contact [email protected].


The Arizona Memory Project provides free online access to the wealth of primary sources in Arizona archives, museums, libraries, and other cultural institutions. The Arizona Memory Project is supported by the Arizona State Library, Archives & Public Records, a division of the Secretary of State, with federal funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
