ASA Presents Seminar on Preservation for Archives Month
Researching the history of a property can help someone learn about their heritage, stimulate the local economy, or perpetuate a community’s identity. But what types of sources are used to conduct property research? October is American Archives Month and the Arkansas State Archives’ theme for Archives Month is using archival records to research historic structures and properties.
ASA Announces George Sylvester McCue Collection
George Sylvester McCue was the son of an Irish immigrant who joined the army just before the Spanish American War in 1898. After the war, he spent time stationed in the Philippines, holding the rank of Second Lieutenant. A decade later, he was stationed in the American Southwest and
Mexico City during the United States’ search for Pancho Villa. In 1917, McCue came to Arkansas to train soldiers at Camp Pike. That year he also became a Mason, posing for a photograph alongside hundreds of fellow Masons on the front steps of Albert Pike Consistory, a building that would
within a few short years, be destroyed by fire and replaced with the current Masonic Temple in downtown Little Rock.
Black History Commission News
In a few months we will commemorate the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. As we get closer to that time, we recognize the loss of so many of our World War II veterans and we recognize the need to memorialize those brave men and women who served. Often it is difficult to find first-hand accounts of African American soldiers who were serving during World War II. We recently received the final report from a Curtis H. Sykes Memorial Grant recipient, Michelle Hamilton Rhodes, whose project, “A Soldier’s Heart: From the Philippines to Arkansas,” details the military career of Rhodes’ grandfather, Lewis J. Jackson. The letters document the life of Jackson, a teacher in Pine Bluff to Nanette White, his girlfriend and soon to be wife.
From the Director
As you know from our lead article, October is American Archives Month. Did you also know that another day recognizing the importance of records preservation is celebrated in October? Electronic Records Day is October 10 or “1010” —think bits and bytes. The commemoration, first held in 2010, is sponsored by the Council of State Archivists for the purpose of raising awareness about the importance of managing electronic files and digital data.

Arkansas Archives Month, 2016
On Wednesday, Sept. 21, Gov. Asa Hutchinson issued a proclamation
declaring October to be Arkansas Archives Month, in conjunction with the
designation of October as American Archives Month. For the past several
decades, American Archives Month has celebrated the importance of
archives and the enduring value of American records and archives.
This is the second year in a row that Gov. Hutchinson has designated October to be Arkansas Archives Month. In the proclamation, Gov. Hutchinson declares that "Arkansas Archives Month celebrates the significance of Arkansas's historical records, illuminates the many ways these records enrich our lives, and recognizes those who maintain them. He also encourages his “fellow citizens to discover the abundance of documentary treasures contained in our State’s archival repositories.”

Wednesday's Wonderful Collection - Pulaski County medical organizations minutes, MS.000155
As
the Civil War drew to a close, physicians in Arkansas decided it was
time to organize professionally, and in January, 1866, they formed the
first such group, the Little Rock and Pulaski County Medical Society. It
had thirteen inaugural members, and for the first six years of its
operation was led by six different presidents. One of the early
presidents was Philo O. Hooper, who went on to establish Little Rock's
College of Physicians and Surgeons in July, 1873, after a dispute arose
among members of the county society.
On June 7, 1873, thirteen disgruntled members of the Little Rock and Pulaski County Medical Society officially withdrew from the organization in protest over its admittance of Almon Brooks, whom they felt fell short of the society's professional standards and ethics. They formed the College of Physicians and Surgeons, which continued for six years, resulting in two almost identical, yet competing medical associations in the Pulaski County region.
In 1879, leaders of the two organizations were approached by the president of St. John's College, Leo Baier, who wanted his institution to include a medical department. Hooper, who still headed the College of Physicians and Surgeons, consented to the proposition, as did the competing organization's leaders, James A. Dibrell, Jr., and James H. Southall. The first joint meeting to discuss the venture was held on April 4, 1879.
Unfortunately, St. John's College was already faltering, and more challenges arose in selecting a faculty, so this initial department never materialized. But the union between the previously competitive associations remained firm as they found a new home for their school: the Arkansas Industrial University, now known as the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Washington County. Incorporated in September 1879, this new medical department was an independent part of the university: Hooper selected the faculty, staff, and curriculum, and the university did not financially support the department. Instead, eight physicians invested $5,000 each, which was enough to buy the Sperindio Hotel at 113 West Second Street in Little Rock. These eight doctors became the University of Arkansas Medical Department's chairmen, and that autumn they accepted their inaugural twenty-two students.
In 1911, fueled by a need to improve medical education standards in Arkansas, the university's medical department merged with a competing Little Rock medical school, the College of Physicians and Surgeons, which had been founded in 1906. (This college should not be confused with the original College of Physicians and Surgeons, which was simply an association of physicians.) With the merger came a fundamental change in the department's organization. The university began having a more direct role in educating budding physicians, while the department was able to begin receiving state appropriations.
