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.”
