Our recent accessions include genealogical research and tourism brochures. The Arkansas State
Archival Collections
John Michael Walsh donated genealogical research into the origins of the Walsh-Welsh family. This is a digital collection that includes more than 80,000 documents related to the Walsh family, who lived in Pulaski County some time before the 20th century.
The Teresa Hastings collection of Arkansas Tourism
publications, 1977-1979, includes 13 brochures/pamphlets about Hot Springs
and other locations around Arkansas. They were donated by Teresa Hastings of Lewes,
Delaware.
Six miscellaneous Arkansas brochures/pamphlets/flyers,
1926, about Springdale, Fayetteville and Siloam Springs were transferred to
us from the collections of History Nebraska (the Nebraska State
Historical Society) in Lincoln, Nebraska. They promote Arkansas
agriculture, particularly its fruit growing potential, and highlight the Ozark Grape
Festival plus other topics.
