Older photos from/of Chandler Municipal Airport needed for history project.

[Joe Copalman]

As some of you know, I am one of the historians working with the City of Chandler on an official history of the city's airport.  It's a pretty ambitious (and exciting) project, involving audio and video interviews, a traveling museum exhibit, and a video production to be premiered at the Chandler Airport Days event in April.

It appears that many of the principals involved in the establishment and growth of the airport did not take many photos over the years, leaving us a bit thin on material for then/now visuals.  If you have photos taken at Chandler Muni back in the 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s that you are willing to lend to the City of Chandler Museum Division to be scanned and returned, please let me know.

Thanks!

All the best,

Joe

I'm sure you already know but the Arizona Historical Society would be a good source, might also shoot a message to John at PASM to search the photo database.

Thanks James - I think the city's public historian has been working with AHS, but that's a good idea to contact John about it.  Thanks!

You mean John B, right?

Yep, that's the one.
