O'Connor Digital Library

The Sandra Day O’Connor Digital Library and Archives is an ongoing program by the O’Connor Institute to document her storied life and accomplishments for current reference and posterity.

This resource offers students and the general public educational information and access to diverse sources of information, from her early life on the Lazy B Ranch, through her quarter century on the Unites States Supreme Court, as well as her most recent initiatives.

O'Connor House

In the late 1950s, Sandra Day O'Connor and her husband, John O'Connor, built an adobe home on Denton Lane in Paradise Valley, Arizona. In the 1970s, the O'Connors’ hospitality became legendary. Sandra was, at the time, serving as the first woman majority leader for the Arizona State Senate, and the first woman in the country to hold this leadership position for any state legislature.
