Route 66 for
Researchers 
This
page is designed to help those doing research on Route 66. All of the
materials listed below are available in the Cline Library at Northern Arizona University in
Flagstaff, Arizona.
The campus of Northern Arizona
University is situated on the 1926-1967 alignment of Route 66, and as
such is
ideally placed to chronicle the impact of Route 66 on localities in
Northern Arizona, and elsewhere along the road. While much has been
printed about Route 66, there is still much serious, historical work to
be done.
Not far from Flagstaff to the West
the longest continuous paved and maintained stretch of Route 66
stretches out across Arizona's high desert terrain from just west of
the town of Ash Fork all the way to the Colorado River and California.
Determined
travellers and researchers can drive much of old Route 66 all across
northern Arizona by using appropriate maps and guide books. This
will
involve accessing many dead ends, and unpaved
stretches of Route 66 with a light truck, or four-wheel drive (being
ever
mindful
of private property). From Flagstaff on to the east, there
are only limited driveable stretches of Route 66. There are several
wonderful sections of the old road in Winslow, Joseph City and Holbrook
as well as many memorable and historic stops like Meteor City,
Jackrabbit, and Chief Yellowhorse.
Listed below are books, government
publications, video tapes, and periodicals dealing with Route 66's
history in Arizona and the United States. If you are not a resident of
Flagstaff or northern Arizona, many of these materials are available
via Interlibrary Loan from your local library. If you have questions
regarding this list, or the materials listed below, please e-mail Sean
Evans at sean.evans@nau.edu.

history go here.
More information on Route 66 in Northern Arizona can be found here. For
a map of Route 66, see the National Park Service's Route 66 Corridor
Preservation
Program web page here.
