For this course, participants
can expect to learn about the history and culture of the Ozarks region through viewing primary source collections available for research in
Special Collections at the University of Arkansas. Dr. Lauren Willette will guide participants
in learning about local and regional history,
culture, and folklore through short lectures, instruction in using archival materials, and handson experience with primary source materials.
For each meeting, participants will meet in the
Special Collections Classroom in Mullins Library
to view materials from collections such as the
University Folklore Collection created by Mary
Celestia Parlor, the Otto Ernest Rayburn Papers,
the Ozark Society Records, the Ozark Fair and
Craft Association Records, and more.
Participants will receive a metered code to park
in the Stadium Garage on campus for the class.
