AHC Staff Hits the Road this Summer to Visit Educational Co-ops

Arkansas History Commission staff members Brian Irby and Danyelle McNeill have been touring the state this summer, visiting educational co-operatives in conjunction with a grant from the Arkansas Humanities Council to create lesson plans from the Commission’s vast collection of primary source materials. Since summer 2013, a group of Arkansas History Commission staff have been working on creating lesson plans.  The initiative was launched by Dr. Lisa Speer during her first year as director.

The AHC Presents the Charles Yearger Collection

We are lucky to have a wide range of different types of items in our collection.  Recently, Charles A. Yaerger donated an interesting collection of materials from Cummins Prison to the AHC.  Yaerger was a chaplain at the Cummins Unit from 1972 to 1980.  One day in the 1970s, Yaerger was walking down the hall and noticed some prison trustees cleaning out a room.  They were throwing away documents and photographs, of which Yaerger was able to save some of the most interesting items.

Strolling Down Main Street Arkansas

Over the last year, the AHC has added much new content to our Arkansas Digital Ark-ives, including collections pertaining to Arkansas women and ethnic groups, World War I, as well as lesson plans and topical collection guides.  This month we add a collection devoted to “Main

Street, Arkansas,” created by Archival Technician Darren Bell.


Black History Commission News

A few months ago we told you about a project funded through the Curtis Sykes Memorial Grant Program where the South Sebastian County Historical Society was cleaning the Norwood Family Cemetery,  an African American cemetery in Greenwood, Arkansas.  We are

pleased to update our readers that the project has been completed. 

Wednesday's Wonderful Collection - Army and Navy Woman's Club records, MS.00336

 After World War I, Mrs. Ira C. Hopper conceived the idea of organizing a club for military wives, especially those at Camp Pike, Pulaski County, Arkansas. Women established the group in 1923 to support patriotic goals and to teach the proper observance of patriotic holidays. The membership was limited to mothers, widows, wives, daughters, and sisters of present or former commissioned officers (including female) of the uniformed defense forces of the United States of America. The Army and Navy Woman's Club presented copies of "Code of Ethics of Our Flag" to fifth grade students in the Little Rock and North Little Rock, Arkansas, schools. The club supported veterans in the hospital and needy veterans at home with food, clothing, and toys, particularly at Thanksgiving and Christmas. The organization disbanded in 1981.
