The Arkansas Railroad Club (ARC), founded in
1969, is a non-profit organization of railroad and train enthusiasts. ARC
operated as the Little Rock Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society
(NRHS), but severed ties with NRHS as of December 31, 2008.
The Arkansas Railroader served as the ARC
newsletter beginning in January 1970. This newsletter contained club-related
information such as upcoming meeting arrangements, meeting minutes, and officer
lists. Arkansas Railroader also published articles related to historic trains,
railroad museums, current railway projects, and featured classified ads for
train paraphernalia.
This collection largely consists of materials
used for research and content development for the Arkansas Railroader, the
official newsletter for the Arkansas Railroad Club. The types of material
included are issues of the Arkansas Railroader, newspaper clippings, articles,
photographs, newsletter mock-ups, railroad-related publications, and ephemera
such as train timetables, tickets, and advertisements.
