Staff members thrilled as they sort through old documents

Billy Ross from the Arizona Division of Emergency Management looks at a 1924 court diagram from a murder scene with Denise Lundin, clerk of the Superior Court, on Tuesday in a storage room in the old Bisbee High School building. The storage room contains untold numbers of old county documents, though many have signs of mold, mildew and pest droppings. Some will end up in the state archives.

BISBEE — Gently opening what looked like a rolled up floor plan, Denise Lundin could hardly believe the history she held in her gloved hands.
“Look at this. It’s an exhibit from a murder trial at 237 Brewery Avenue,” stated the county Clerk of the Superior Court. “It’s a murder scene drawing from Oct. 14, 1924.”

What an incredible project to be a part of, sorting through, organizing
historic documents, each one being a treasure unto their own. It makes you
wonder what other County Treasures are out there waiting to be rediscovered.
I hope we’ll be updated on more of this story as it unfolds. Robert

Look like Denise Lundin struck a gold mine when she discovered those old
Bisbee dicuments. There is a lot of Bisbee (and Cochise County) history
located in those documents.
