Alaska Statehood Celebrations!

Update: Links in this post were updated on 10/10/14. The Juneau Empire and Anchorage Daily News (now Alaska Dispatch News) no longer have dedicated pages for Alaska Statehood, but you can find articles by searching their archives.

Question: I read somewhere that people who were in Alaska 50 years ago could contribute stories for the Alaska Statehood celebrations. Do you know where we can share these?

Answer: The Alaska Statehood Celebration Commission links to sites from the Anchorage Daily News and the Juneau Empire, along with others. Both of these newspaper sites solicit stories, photos and more.

In addition to information about how to share your perspective of Alaska history, the Alaska Statehood Celebration Commission also includes links to celebration plans around the state, information about Alaska and how it became a state, and traveling exhibits from the Alaska State Museum.
