Hello Tucson!
The
MexAm Museum, run by
Los Descendientes de Tucson, is offering up to $300 worth of free digitization for
home videos, movie film, broadcast media, audio recordings, film negatives, 8mm, super 8, and slides that capture Tucson past. Funds will be prioritized for barrio residents and unique Tucson / Tucsonense memories, experiences, or traditions. Museum donation of the digitized material is not required, but highly encouraged.
We are only accepting:
- 8mm or super 8 film recordings or 16 mm film
- 2 x 2 slides
- film (photo) negatives
- home movies
- audio recordings
WE ARE NOT accepting PHOTOS, PAPERS, or OBJECTS for digitization.
IF you have PHOTOS, PAPERS, or OBJECTS you'd like us to look at, please note that in the form below.
After we review your request, a museum director will reach out to schedule a drop off & pick up time for objects to be digitized.
Upon reopening of the Mexican American Heritage and History Museum in 2025, applicable donated materials will be incorporated into the History of the Barrios exhibit and in Los Descendientes programming. Donors will be notified of their inclusion and invited to view the exhibit ahead of opening day. For additional questions email: MexAmHistoryMuseum@gmail.com
Digitization services provided courtesy of Los Descendientes de Tucson using Ward 1 Budget de la Gente funding.
