We have a division of the OVHS that is “The Collections Committee.” The Collections Committee helps collect, preserve, and register historic and prehistoric artifacts of Oro Valley area.

The group meets once a month and discusses past and current projects. This division needs volunteers to join the group

because they are short-handed; as they continue to obtain more projects.

If this interest you, please email:
