Scope and Content Note
Materials consist of correspondence, forms, newspaper clippings, and other paper documents. Notable materials include the Early Settler Personal History Questionnaires in Group A. These questionnaires are filed with the settler's county of residence, ie. one of 75 series. An appendix divided into two parts accompanies these materials. The first part includes the list of questions asked of interviewees. The second part has two sections, the first by county, and the second by name of settler listed by county; both parties reference the locations of the questionnaires by Title (Series), Box, and File.
Notable materials also include the church profiles located in Group H, Series (Title) 1. Individual profiles are available for most churches in Arkansas existing during the period 1936-1941. Information includes church name and denomination; date founded; race of church members; list of ministers or rabbis; history of the church; and a list of church records. The survey produced an inventory of churches entitled A Directory of Churches and Religious Organizations in the State of Arkansas. It should be noted that not all churches listed in this inventory have corresponding profiles in the collection.

Biographical Note
The Historical Records Survey (HRS), a nation-wide project initiated in January 1936 as a division of the Federal Writers' Project of the United States Work Projects Administration, began functioning in Arkansas in March 1936. Separated from the FWP in October of that year, it continued to operate for a period under the WPA's Division of Professional and Service Projects, and was subsequently placed under its Division of Community Service Programs. When the HRS was suspended, early in 1942, its 156 cubic feet of accumulated and preserved files, contained in 104 transfer cases, were deposited in the University of Arkansas Library.
From its beginning the HRS undertook two major tasks: (1) to describe, organize, preserve, and make accessible to the public, information on all historically significant records pertaining to county government; (2) to prepare inventories, guides, calendars and other lists of, or keys to, historical materials of a semi-public or nonpublic character, including church archives and historical manuscripts.
The first of these tasks involved the descriptive inventorying of all the records of county government stored in the several county courthouses in the state, identifying and describing each record by its title; the date when its use was established; its content, purpose, and relationship to other records; the location, terminal dates, quantities and physical condition of its retained and surviving files; and by the arrangement or organizational scheme in which it was preserved.
The Survey also undertook to prepare, as supplements to these descriptive inventories, an historical sketch of each county, recording the date of the county's organization; how it was named; the history of its first and subsequent county seats, and of its other cities and towns; the history of its early settlers, and of its churches.
It was intended that these data would ultimately be published in 75 volumes of the HRS’s Inventory of the County Archives of Arkansas. Seventeen of the projected 75 volumes of the title did, in fact, appear between 1939 and 1942; nos. 3, 4, 8, 12, 13, 19, 23, 30, 33, 34, 44, 48, 49, 57, 62, 63 and 65, for Baxter, Benton, Carroll, Cleburne, Cleveland, Cross, Faulkner, Hot Spring, Izard, Jackson, Madison, Monroe, Montgomery, Polk, Saline, Scott and Searcy Counties, respectively
In performance of its second task, the HRS explored and surveyed the records holdings of the local churches, the university, college, school and public libraries, the newspaper offices, the city halls, the offices of state government, and the other institutional, commercial or private repositories in Arkansas, in an effort similarly to locate and inventory the state, municipal and church archives of the state, the federal archives preserved in it, its newspaper files, its historical manuscripts, its early imprints, and its collections of significant Arkansiana.
HRS publications resulting from these secondary surveys include: A Directory of Churches and Religious Organizations in the State of Arkansas (1942); Guide to Vital Statistics Records in Arkansas (1942); Union List of Arkansas Newspapers, 1819-1942 (1942); A Check List of Arkansas Imprints, 1821-1876 (1942); and one volume ("Church of Christ, Scientist," 1941) of Inventory of the Church Archives of Arkansas.

Abstract
This collection consists of materials resulting from the Work Progress Administration's Historical Records Survey project in Arkansas.
Arrangement
The 266 feet of records inventory files, 1936-1942, were originally described in 17 groups, designated Groups A-Q. Two additional sets of materials originally had no designation. These materials are integrated into the seventeen original groups. They are stored in Boxes 518-525 and Oversize Boxes 1-9. For inventory purposes, they have been designated Group R (Boxes 518-525) and Group S (Oversize Materials).
This collection did not originally contain series. However, in some instances (Groups A, D, and F-I), materials were conceptionally rearranged with titles reconceived as series; this allowed the creation of an EAD compatible finding aid. Previous designations of subseries were discarded. The original physical order has been maintained.

Appendix: Early Settlers’ Questionnaire and Settler Lists
The early settlers’ questionnaire was used for gathering File F data for counties surveyed for Group A. It is included in its entirety below.
Two settler lists were created by Andrea Cantrell, former head of Research Services, Special Collections Division, University of Arkansas Libraries. The first list indicates which counties include early settlers’ questionnaires. The second list includes the names of actual individuals surveyed. Both lists include the physical location (Group A title, box, and file) of the questionnaires within the collection.

EARLY SETTLERS’ PERSONAL HISTORY QUESTIONNAIRE
(may also be used for interviews with persons other than early settlers)
1. Early settler’s name.
2. Address.
3. Present occupation (most of the old timers are now retired).
4. Previous occupation or occupations.

Some of the more pretentious houses were built with brick imported up the rivers. In the northwestern part of the state stone houses occurred much more frequently. Pay particular attention to these and similar regional differences.)
13. What form of lighting was used in the early days? Pine knots? Tallow dips? Candles poured at home? Oil or fat lamps? etc.
14. When were electric lights first used in your community?
15. What kind of fuel was used? (This was wood in most parts of the state, of course, because it was plentiful and convenient, but in some of the western counties coal may have appeared early.)
16. What kinds of food did the early settlers have? Were fish and game depended upon for the most supply? Was game plentiful? What kinds?
17. What kinds of clothes were worn and how manufactured?
18. Were there any interesting customs or incidents connected with early courtships? Was bundling ever practiced? (it is highly improbable but possible.) Were charivaries (usually pronounced 'shivaree' in Arkansas and the lower Mississippi Valley territory) frequent?

There are stories told of various food subs [sic] substitutes used during the Civil War and Reconstruction periods. These might supply interesting sidelights.)
25. Relate interesting incidents of the early days. Tell of childhood impressions and memories. Tell of group activities such as house raisings and warmings, quilting bees, corn huskings, brush arbor meetings, dances, games, socials, hunts and game drives, hog killing, sorghum making, play parties, and the like.

37. When and where was the first automobile seen?
38. When and where was the first train seen?
39. When and where was the first airplane seen?
40. When did automotive busses begin interurban operation? (Give descriptions on the five foregoing.)
41. Early theatrical performances? Local people? Traveling stock companies?
42. Tell of any important local celebration in memory of any individual or event.
43. Does the individual recall any early historical character such as Sam Houston, Col. James Bowie, former President Zachary Taylor, the James boys, etc.?
44. Tell of any duels. Where were they fought? By whom? Why?

The above questionnaire is intended solely as a skeleton outline to assist the interviewer in giving his subject leads. It is improbable that any one individual can answer all the questions fully but it is advisable to ask them all anyway. Record the answers on plain paper numbering the answers to correspond with the above questions, if possible.
AT THE TOP OF THE PAPER ON WHICH YOU RECORD THE MISTERS BE CERTAIN TO PUT YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, DATE AND REFER TO ARKANSAS HRS FORM J.
Do not limit yourself to the above questions. If the subject goes off on any tangent follow it to see if it is of historical interest. Remember to get Who, What, When, Where, How, and Why on every possible question. As regards matters of location, such as Indian sites, early buildings, tombstones, etc., be as definite and detailed as possible. Give pertinent data i.e., whether or not buildings are now occupied and if so by what or whom, and in either case, in what state of preservation and repair.
