The Arkansas History Commission is announcing a new url for the agency’s online digital archives. The url, http://ahc.digital-ar.org/ , will direct patrons to a variety of digitized collections of archival material.
The online digital archives was relaunched last year through
the Online Computer Library Center’s (OCLC) program, Content DM. Content DM is
used by archives and libraries across the country to share digitized archival
material online.
Digitized collections currently include World War I/Camp
Pike material, all five Arkansas Constitutions, historic maps and postcards, material
from Arkansas’s multicultural heritage, music clips from our Ozarks Folk Life
and Culture collection, the history of the Arkansas state flag, Arkansas
History Commission resource guides and educational lesson plans.
Future collections will contain material pertaining to
Arkansas women’s history, Arkansas sports, religion and spirituality in
Arkansas, the 1927 Flood, World War II oral histories, and in celebration of
the AHC’s 110th anniversary this year, the agency will have a
digital collection of 110 unique things picked by its staff.
The Arkansas History Commission, located in Little Rock, is
the official state archives of Arkansas and maintains the largest collection of
historical materials on Arkansas in the world.
