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

Located in downtown Little Rock, the UA Little Rock Center for History and Culture<\/a> is 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 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 This Project\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

“Charlie May Simon: A Rocky Crossing Pushing Across the Stream of Time” is based on the\u00a0Charlie May Simon Papers (UALR.MS.0006<\/a>). UA Little Rock Center for Arkansas History and Culture purchased the original collection from the Charlie May Simon estate in 1977, which included approximately 21 cubic feet of materials. In 1979, the collection split to create a separate John Gould Fletcher Papers. Then in 1998, CAHC added the art belonging to Howard Simon to the collection.<\/p>\n

Charlie May Simon wrote in a variety of forms, with the primary genres reflected in the below bibliography: adult fiction, biography, children’s fiction, and memoirs. Her article “Retreat to the Land” was her first accepted work, published in 1933.<\/p>\n
