Welcome to the Boise City Archives Digital Collection

 

Partnerships with talented artists, historians and hundreds of passionate citizens helped build the remarkable Collections under the curation and care of the City of Boise. It’s never been so easy to browse and search the City’s growing collection of Art, Archives and Historic Artifacts. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, please allow us to help.  

Boise City Department of Arts & History is in a "beta" phase as we migrate and build our digital collections into this new platform.   Please note that many of our collections are still being worked on and are not yet on this site.  We appreciate your patience while we work through this.

Do you have some suggestions or questions?  Encountered any errors?  Know more information about a collection or image seen here and would like to share?  Please reach out to us at artsandhistory@cityofboise.org.
