This archive is managed by staff at Dorothy Cummings Library at American Indian College. This archive is a work in progress. Check back regularly for more content!
Are you an alumni, former employee, or friend of the school? Do you have an intimate knowledge of All Tribes Bible School, American Indian Bible Institute, American Indian Bible College, or American Indian College? Do you have a desire to share your knowledge of the school with others? Apply to be an archive volunteer!
Due to the high volume of material, the archive will likely take a few years to complete. However, with your help, we can get through the content faster and with more accuracy. Here are the kinds of things we need help with:
Gathering archive material (documents, photos, etc.) from outside sources (alumni, former employees, etc.)
Identifying people in photos
Identifying where and when photos were taken
Placing photos in the appropriate albums on Flickr
Typing up cursive pieces handwritten by our founder, Alta Washburn
Being interviewed about your special time at AIC
Donating money that will help fund our digital archive site and to physically preserve the items
Please note that the library is usually closed between the 3rd week of May until the 3rd week of August each year. Library staff prefer volunteers to be on-site for initial training, but volunteer work can take place year-round if done virtually. If you don't live in the Phoenix area or only have summer availability, you can still apply. We welcome anyone with the knowledge, time, and talent to help us out!
