\n\t\tAbout\n\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\tCenter for Arkansas History and Culture\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

Located in downtown Little Rock, the UA Little Rock Center for Arkansas and History and Culture<\/a>\u00a0is located in the Central Arkansas Library System’s Bobby L. Roberts Library of Arkansas History and Art building, the state’s largest facility dedicated to the study of Arkansas history and culture. Through its connection to the university, the archives benefit from the rigorous scholarship of our faculty, creating a valuable resource for students, researchers, stakeholders, and the general public.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tMission\n\t<\/h3>\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 experiences.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tAbout the Project\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

“No Laughing Matter: Political Cartoons and the Arkansas Historical Perspective” began as a product of an unrelated project when the\u00a0UA Little Rock Center for Arkansas History and Culture<\/a>\u00a0(CAHC) proposed a workshop for teachers, librarians, and archivists around the state. The workshop, Teaching a Web of Arkansas History, funded by the\u00a0Arkansas Community Foundation<\/a>‘s Bridge Fund Grant Program, brought together professionals from around the state to learn about digitizing photographs, writing about the photographs, and creating online exhibits to highlight archival material. For the workshops, Center staff thought political cartoons would be interesting source materials for the participants to work with and contemplate exhibiting. From that, the virtual exhibit was born and the idea for this symposium soon followed.<\/p>\n
