To make our rich book and periodicals collection more accessible to researchers, the CALS Butler Center for Arkansas Studies at the Roberts Library has been working to digitize books from our collections not bound by copyright to make them accessible via the web.
Since the CALS Encyclopedia of Arkansas (EOA) turns 18 years old on May 2 this year (in just over a week!), it made sense to me that there ought to be some kind of high school-style presentation.
In 2019, Jim Conner of Little Rock donated a treasure trove of family material to the CALS Butler Center for Arkansas Studies. The family has been part of Little Rock’s history for over 150 years.
The expansion of historical knowledge starts locally, grows to state significance, and may explode onto the national scene.
A group was organized with a plan to document six communities in Pulaski County that follow Arkansas Highway 365 South.
By the time you read this, the CALS Encyclopedia of Arkansas (EOA) will have posted our annual April Fools’ Day entry, and while everyone seems to appreciate them,
The Butler Banner archives between 1999-2018 are available in PDF format only. The Butler Banner was our print newsletter.

Honor or memorial gifts are an everlasting way to pay tribute to someone who has touched your life.

When a tribute gift is given the honoree will receive a letter acknowledging your generosity and a bookplate will be placed in a book.
