The\u00a0Center for Arkansas History and Culture\u00a0(CAHC) at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock strives to be a unique and reliable resource that explores and promotes Arkansas’s rich history through identifying, collecting, and preserving Arkansas records that are of enduring value to the state.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tMission\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

The UA Little Rock Center for Arkansas History and Culture collects, keeps safe, and makes available Arkansas history that connects people to each other and their shared experience.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Group\n

\n\t\tAbout the Exhibit\n\t<\/h1>\n\t

“Arkansas Constitutional Convention, 1979-1980: Citizen Participation in the Political Process” was made possible with funding by the Arkansas Natural and Cultural Resources Council. The project is a partnership between the UA Little Rock Center for Arkansas History and Culture and the Arkansas State Archives.<\/p>\n

The exhibit sections describe previous passed and failed Arkansas Constitutions, the 1979-1980 Constitutional Convention, conservation of audio recordings made at the 1979-1980 Convention, and curriculum guides for educators to use with students. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Logo\n\t\t\t\t\"Arkansas\n
