- The archive describes photographs, deeds, clippings, and oral histories with sources; two featured photographs are still awaiting permission.
Field notes
The history section places Oracle about 35 miles north of Tucson, on the north slope of the Santa Catalina Mountains, and describes it as a mining settlement when the hotel opened. The site says the archive attaches sources to its items and includes oral histories alongside deeds and clippings. Some photographs are not yet displayed because permission from the Arizona Historical Society is pending.
