S
enator Barry Goldwater (1909-1998) is well-known and well-loved in the state of Arizona. Not only was he a dedicated public servant for many years, but he was also a gifted photographer, an avid documentarian, and a frequent contributor to Arizona Highways magazine. As one of the magazine’s first and most important photographers, his extraordinary images celebrating the landscapes, people and culture of the state are true treasures. Senator Goldwater was often granted access to remote Naative American villages and communities based on his ability to build lasting relationships with
72
Arizona’s native people. This unique trait enabled him to capture historic moments through his photographs. The Grand Canyon and Native peoples of Northern Arizona were among Senator Goldwater’s favorite subjects. The Barry and Peggy Goldwater Foundation is devoted to preserving, protecting and showcasing the images archives of Senator Goldwater. In collaboration with the Barry & Peggy Goldwater Foundation and Arizona Highways magazine, Scottsdale’s Museum of the West is proud to premiere this special exhibit.
