January 3, 2009 is the 50th Anniversary of Alaska's becoming a state. See this list for books and more about how Alaska became a state and what was being said by and about the state during the early years of statehood. This list is NOT comprehensive, nor does it include "in library use only" material. Think of it as a "statehood sampler" drawn from our circulating collection. Please use the subject and author hyperlinks to explore more of Alaska's history. Items on this list are available for Interlibrary Loan through your local library. For rich photographic materials related to Statehood, please visit http://vilda.alaska.edu/cdm4/statehood.php.
