The Flagstaff City-Coconino County Public Library is a FamilySearch affiliate library. Using FamilySearch through the Library provides access to FamilySearch's digital genealogical collections that are otherwise accessible only through a FamilySearch center. 

This collection of historical documentation is focused on both government and contractor communications involving three site locations comprising the Flagstaff Airport at different intervals during the early and mid-part of the twentieth century. 

A strong interest among the Flagstaff community emerged in the 1970s to document and preserve historical structures around the town. The Flagstaff Historic Sites Commission, the Arizona Historical Society-Northern Division/Northern Arizona Pioneers Historical Society along with other notable institutions in cooperation with the City of Flagstaff worked toward determining which properties in a given survey area would qualify for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Arizona State Historic Property Inventory Forms were used to document these selections comprising over 1,000 buildings many of which retained their original architectural integrity with minor or no alterations. 

The Flagstaff City Directories cover Flagstaff from the years of 1929 to 1986 (some years are missing).

In addition to providing phone number and street addresses for residents, these unique directories can also provide marital, career, and educational status.
