The Bobby L. Roberts Library of Arkansas History and Art combines the archival holdings of two institutions, UA Little Rock Center for Arkansas History and Culture and the Central Arkansas Library System's Butler Center for Arkansas Studies, under one roof.

To help make the researcher's experience efficient and fulfilling, the two institutions have created a single research portal that provides all of the information you need to plan your visit to the archive, including the ability to submit questions and requests to staff.
