The Archives
Located in the heart of downtown, the Center for Arkansas History and Culture (CAHC) is the teaching archive affiliated with UA Little Rock. CAHC strives to make Arkansas history accessible to students, educators, and the public. Through hands-on internships and graduate assistantships, CAHC prepares students to enter careers in public history.
Researchers can use CAHC’s online catalog to browse finding aids and digitized archival materials. Archival manuscript and photograph collections, books, microfilm, and additional online databases are available in the public research room.
Please use the request form for appointments, digitization services, permission to publish, and other research requests.
