In commemoration of the 110th anniversary of
the Arkansas History Commission and State Archives, the agency is releasing a
new online digital collection on Tuesday, April 7, 2015, titled, “Tales from the
Vault: Celebrating 110 Years.” The new collection will be made up of 110 favorite
items from the AHC archives picked by agency staff.
Items chosen include minutes from the very first Arkansas
History Commission meeting in 1905, music memorabilia, World War I archival
material, Civil War artifacts, photographs and ambrotypes as well as a variety
of other documents and letters. The
online digital collection, which joins 11 other already existing online
collections, can be viewed at http://ahc.digital-ar.org/.
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.
