Talk:Arkansas Genealogy Local Resources

Ruth, my apologies for changing some of your words. One of Joy's pages had an fckeditor error, and it looked like this page did as well. After fixing some, I realized I was editing your work. Don't want to do that. Just want to give suggestions. I did also have to fix some of the tabs and the right side of the page so it would match the Arkansas Genealogy Research page

We need to talk about the Template:Arkansas

Paragraphs need to be short -- 3 lines are pushing it

Links to another Wiki Article need to be [[internal, not external {http// links.

Comments for Archives section: (Something not quite clear to me in this explanation)
 * beta worldcat.org archivegrid
 * Identify participating Arkansas Archives with contact information, search their collections

(Suggestion: tell them how to navigate to records. Also link when a specific collection is mentioned?)
 * Arkansas History Commission (State Archives) Online collections include 1911 Confederate Veterans Questionnaires, Confederate Pension Records, Land Records, and World War I Discharge Records among others.

(Suggestion: shorter paragraph. Perhaps bullets.)
 * The National Archives at Fort Worth (formerly known as "National Archives Southwest Region (Ft. Worth)" has records created by federal agencies and courts in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas. The archives has microfilms of all available federal census records, many naturalization records, passenger arrival lists, military records, and other historical resources.

(Suggestion: list the counties? What does this regional archives hold?
 * Southwest Arkansas Regional Archives is a branch of the Arkansas History Commission (State Archives). Its mission is to serve the twelve counties in southwest Arkansas formed from the original Hempstead County.
