Arkansas History Commission

150 Years Ago Today – Arkansas in the Civil War

The Arkansas History Commission (AHC) is one of the oldest existing state agencies in The Natural State. Arkansas's official state archive was created by the General Assembly in 1905. A division of the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism, our mission is to:

keep and care for the official archives of the State of Arkansas;
collect material bearing on the history of Arkansas from the earliest times;
copy and edit official records and other historical material; and
encourage historical work and research by the public.
