This collection contains various materials collected by the Arkansas Women's History Institute as part of their mission to collect, preserve, and increase awareness about the role of women in Arkansas history.  The collection includes biographical material on women in Arkansas, research files concerning the exhibit, "Behold, Our Works Were Good," which was funded in part by the Arkansas Endowment for the Humanities.  From the exhibit, the Institute developed a handbook entitled "Behold, Our Works Were Good":  A Handbook of Arkansas Women's History, published in Spring 1988.  [Note:  The Arkansas Women's History Institute Board Papers, including materials on the handbook are in Collection UALR.0140.]

           
In addition to biographical and research materials, the collection also contains diaries and letters donated by various people.  The UALR Archives serves as the official repository for the Arkansas Women's History Institute and materials donated to the AWHI are catalogued in Photograph Collection 67/Women in Arkansas.
