CONWAY – Starting on Tuesday, August 9, a visual history of the University of Central Arkansas will be accessible on Flickr from the ÿմվ Archives.
The ÿմվ Archives, located on the first floor of Torreyson Library, strives to obtain and preserve historical documents that pertain to the state of Arkansas.
Suggested by President Tom Courtway, the collection of ÿմվ photographs, named “P15- ÿմվ Images,” will now be available on Flickr to the public for viewing or downloading. There are around 1,400 photos in the collection with the oldest photos dating back to the 1910s, when ÿմվ was still Arkansas State Normal School.
ÿմվ Archives employee, Aryn Denette, supervises the Flickr account, which can be found under “ ÿմվ Archives.” The photos are organized into albums by decade.
“[The archives] are historical resources for the community to come and learn about Arkansas and ÿմվ,” Denette said.
The ÿմվ Archives contains more than 300 collections and documents that are free for the public to view. Visitors to the archives come from a range of places including Texas and Oklahoma. Open five days a week, aides are available to pull any document for visitors.
For more information about collections in the ÿմվ Archives, visit uca.edu/archives.
