Director's Office Resources
The Director’s Office offers a number of educational products and services for anyone interested in learning more about Arkansas's historical, cultural, natural, and artistic heritage. One of our educational goals is to identify resources from our agencies and offer ways to use these items in a learning environment. We are always interested in the needs of the educational community and invite inquiries or suggestions for future educational product development. If you are planning a conference, festival or other public program and interested in having the Department of Arkansas Heritage exhibit, conduct a session or provide a heritage-related activity, please contact the education coordinator at education@arkansasheritage.com or by calling (501) 324-9150. To learn more about all the educational products offered by the seven agencies that compose the Department of Arkansas Heritage, visit our Educational Resources page.

To assist others in learning about Arkansas’s heritage, the Director’s Office provides workshops, sessions and seminars to educators across the state. We will travel to your site or you may visit one of our locations to take advantage of this free resource.
All of our workshops can be used to fulfill the professional development credit in Arkansas history, yet many of the sessions include information that is useful to other disciplines such as science, English, math, art, and music.
We can design new programs to assist in your educational goals or you may participate in one of our popular and informative sessions listed below. For more information or to schedule a workshop, contact the education coordinator at (501)324-9150.
