As the official depository for records of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention, Riley-Hickingbotham Library is home to more Arkansas Baptist materials than can be found anywhere else. Major components of the holdings are church and association records, in addition to Baptist publications. Most records are available in their original form as well as on microfilm. An every-name index to association records through the year 1900 allows easy access to names of thousands of nineteenth-century Arkansas Baptists.  If copies from this index are needed, please use the Request for Copies form.

To provide the Arkansas Baptist Historical Collection with information on a church or biographical information about a minister, see our Church History Survey form or Baptist Biography Data form.

The following maps show the geographic expansion of Arkansas Baptists during the latter half of the nineteenth-century:  1850 map, 1860 map, 1870 map, 1880 map, 1890 map, 1900 map.
