Arizona State University Libraries this week released 4,500 photos taken in and around Phoenix between 1884 and 1947 by two brothers from Scotland.

Most of the photos are from between 1930-1947. Rob Spindler is the head of archives and special collections for the ASU Libraries. He spoke about what we learn about Phoenix and the region from these photos.
