ALASKA'S NEWSPAPER

| Updated: 12:48 AM

Countdown to Statehood

This year the Daily News commemorates the 50th anniversary of Alaska statehood with a series of photos and articles drawn from our archives of material published in 1958, a series leading up to the official date of admission, Jan. 3, 1959. If you were in Alaska before statehood and have first-person memories or photographs from the time, share them here. We expect to see many histories about Alaska entering the union as a state. At this site we hope to show how it looked before it became history. - Mike Dunham, adn.com/contact/mdunham (907-257-4332).
