The Butler Center for Arkansas Studies was founded in 1997 in order to promote "a greater understanding and appreciation of Arkansas history, literature, art, and culture." On the site, general readers may like to explore resources like Collections of Arkansas in the U.S. Congress, Genealogy & Research Tools, and Manuscripts, Photos & Maps. Educators, however, may like to move directly to the Education Resources For Teachers section, where they will find lesson plans for elementary school and high school, as well as curriculum frameworks in fine arts, science, social studies, and other subjects. While the Butler Center blog is currently under construction, links to the Encyclopedia of Arkansas History & Culture (from the blog page) are still in excellent working order.
