About the Center\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\"UA<\/h2>\n

The Center for Arkansas History and Culture<\/a> (CAHC) at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock strives to be a unique and reliable resource that explores and promotes Arkansas\u2019s rich history through identifying, collecting, and preserving Arkansas records that are of enduring value to the state.<\/p>\n

Mission<\/h4>\n

The UA Little Rock Center for Arkansas History and Culture collects, preserves, and enables access to Arkansas records of enduring value; prepares students and the region for the 21st century through academic leadership and education on archival practices and technologies; and engages the community through outreach, programming, and exhibitions.<\/p>\n\t

About the Exhibit<\/h2>\n

“The Civilian Conservation Corps in Arkansas” was made possible in partnership with the Arkansas Humanities Council<\/a> with funding from the National Parks Service<\/a>. The project is a collaborative work between the UA Little Rock Center for Arkansas History and Culture, local archeologists and scientists, historians, and educators to explore the legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps in Arkansas by reviewing its history and visiting the sites as they exist today. The exhibit is an interactive experience based on historical materials from the CAHC’s collections,\u00a0 photographs of CCC-built structures remaining in Arkansas Parks today, essays from scholars around the state written for a broad audience, as well as educational resources based on Arkansas state curriculum standards.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Arkansas\n\t\t\t\t\"National\n\t
