More than 4000 manuscript collections are housed at the Arkansas History Commission.
In part, they consist of the private and business papers of individuals as well as records
of religious, educational, business, patriotic, social, and civic organizations. Also
contained in the holdings are state and federal records and governors' papers. Original
manuscripts, collections on microfilm, and other photographic copies are included. Many
smaller collections are grouped in the Small Manuscripts Collection, available on microfilm.
Collectively, these manuscripts comprise a major source of Arkansas history.
