Saving Goldwater’s Photos

This photograph taken by Barry Goldwater in 1948 on the north side of Navajo Mountain in Arizona shows an elderly man sitting cross-legged and illuminated by a shaft of light. The photo was featured in Arizona Highways magazine’s July 1952 issue. The late Sen. Barry Goldwater’s granddaughter is working to preserve the thousands of images of Arizona landscapes and Native Americans that he created over his lifetime. Twenty years after the Republican icon’s death, Alison Goldwater Ross has formed a foundation to digitize and repair the images.
