Card catalog
This old wooden card catalog is from the old Tombstone High School. Before computers, card catalogs were used in libraries to keep track of the books in stock.
The original Tombstone High School was constructed in 1922 and was open until 2006, when the school moved. Under the leadership of teacher Mary Perez, a museum of items, in which this is housed, was created to preserve the history of the old building.
