My company paid for membership last year. We attended 18 meetings and participated in several…read moreprograms. We engaged hundreds of guests. We followed up on reported leads. We posted events in LRRCofC calendar for 9 months. We never had a single attendee from LRRCofC attend any of those events. We never got a single inquiry about our services. We did get numerous unwelcome solicitations. Since moving to Little Rock from out of state we have had exactly one client in the state of Arkansas. Yhat client was NOT connected to LRRCofC. Our calendar is filled with events for clients that pay us to travel from Arakansas, but nothing locally. We have had much better success in other cities CofC. One little clue to this Chamber's myopia is while they have a multi-million dollar facility at a prime location in Little Rock, the fountain at their front door has not been maintained for the past three years. Tourists, visitors to the Convention Center across the street, and those using the Trolley stop on their corner are exposed to the stench and trash in the fountain. Clearly, LRRCof C does not care about citizens of Little Rock or small businesses and advocates only for further enrichment of the rich and powerful. This is clear from the advocacy statement opposing unionization and corporate taxation on their website and their recent actions in securing tax breaks and land for unscrupulous corporations. We regret having paid into an organization overplays its effectiveness to small business and purports to support its region, but actually works to further exploit its people.

Save yourself some time and fill out the application online as well and print it out. I've seen so many people show up and then fill one out on the spot. FYI, you can get photos at Walgreens or Wal-Mart if you need them. The customer service here is amazing and every single person who has helped me has been so polite and professional. Love that. Definitely have to give Austin major props because he usually always helps me. I've never seen him in a bad mood or without a smile on his face. I'm sure at first he thought it was odd I was shipping stuff out so much but told him i send things to family back home and he understands. I do think this location could use a self service kiosk to help with after hours or during the lunch rush, but unsure it's a budget issue or if they have to request one. Everyone who works here is wonderful! Keep it up

My visit two years ago was a rocky one and the only bad research experience I have ever had. This…read moreis due to difficult policies and some of the least helpful library staff I have ever met. I'd called a few weeks before the trip to ask one or two questions. One of these questions was, "Are there any fees?" The answer was "No." I should have been more explicit and asked if there were any costs associated with printing, but I assumed that this would have been stated if the machines could not save to a flash drive and printing had a cost. I was incorrect. The Arkansas History Commission is the only place I've ever visited in several years of doing research without at least a few microfilm machines connected to computers for flash drive saving. I made the novice mistake of not bringing very much cash with me (what I had was meter money I always take when going to a city). Turns out the History Commission requires money to be pre-loaded onto a card which the printer will charge when it prints. I was definitely unprepared for that, but I learned my lesson and from then on I have always brought money to libraries I have never visited before. With no ATM in the building and no advice as to where I might find a bank nearby (I asked and was offered no information), I took off and drove around Little Rock looking for a gas station or bank. It took awhile. I came back and handed a $20 bill to the employee at the desk. I said, "I'd like $5 on a card, please." "I'm sorry, but we don't make change," she replied. I blinked. "Do I get change back if any is left when I'm leaving?" "No, but you get a refund for the $1 deposit of the card," she said. I stared, speechless. I think she and another employee realized that the "no change" issue would have been a good thing to mention before I left, because they made the change without my having to say anything else. This won me over because I was then able to sit down and get to work at long last. In sum: 1. When someone asks if there are fees associated with using a facility, it is the job of the staff member to bring up everything with a price: fees for parking or meters, fees for printing, fees for photocopies... anything short of a vending machine. 2. The microfilm card idea, and the inability to receive a refund from the card, made things a hassle. 3. The worst part was the non-helpful and non-friendly staff. They couldn't provide any idea as to where I might find an ATM when I said I'd come from out of state? Was I to believe they'd never driven by a bank in the entire time they'd worked in Little Rock, the capitol of the state?

I actually live near Morrilton, Arkansas, so I usually visit the Arkansas History Commission every…read moremonth or so. There are some very excellent and knowledgeable staff who work there and there are some who barely know where any of the records are or have any clue whatsoever about researching family history. You never know how good the staff will be the day you visit in advance unfortunately. As far as records go, there are a wide range to look at including records from other states besides Arkansas! There is a wide range collection of Arkansas records available to look at including microfiche, microfilm, books, census, and even newspapers. While there is a nice collection of cemetery records, some counties have a lot and other counties don't have any for instance. The History Commission has started offering quite a large selection of their information on a website that has no service charge as far as I could tell when using it. I would strongly suggest looking through the site before visiting the History Commission in person, which could save a lot of time and allow you more time to look at the records not included on the website. As far as I know, there is only a fee of ten cents a page for photocopying records, including printing from microfilm, which is nice to have and be able to look at on later dates or to have for your records. If you are new to researching your family tree, I wouldn't suggest visiting the History Commission until you have exhausted talking with family members, the internet, and local research facilities, like your public library and Family History Center. Visiting your local Family History Center will give you the experience of researching a facility and where you can usually get excellent help learning to research your family history and prepare you for the possibility of visiting the Arkansas History Commission when the staff may be either overwhelmed with work or not knowledgeable about their collection or know how to go about researching your family tree. I would strongly suggest visiting the Arkansas History Commission on a Saturday, if possible. Nearby parking is free and more available due to other local state agencies being closed. Also, there are usually fewer people using the facility that day too. You will need to use the building's west side, I believe. It's not the entrance located on the oval in front of the building, but on the side toward the back of the building down the hill from the front. I hope this information is helpful to anyone considering researching at the Arkansas History Commission. There is also a large collection of Arkansas historical documents and books located at the main Little Rock Library where much of the information available is not duplicated at the History Commission. I absolutely love the Arkansas marriage record collection at the library.

I was interested because my husband is on a diabetic diet and I'm always looking for ways to cook healthy meals for him. I didn't see anywhere, on their advertising of the event, if I needed to register so I emailed them and received a reply from the Brad, 'this class is open to the public. No registration is required'. I went the first Wednesday night and was told that because I didn't register I couldn't stay. I told the person in charge that I was told there was No Registration! Her reply was, 'Sorry, no room'. So much for no registration. I will rethink joining them for any event in the future since I have to drive 1 1/2 hrs. to attend the classes.

They have a lot designated for library goers. If you are attending the story time they provide you with a free parking pass for up to 2 hours. Which I didn't know but I'll remember for next time. The library is clean and well organized. I love that the kids area is separate from the other parts of the library; it's on the 3rd floor. The kids area was well organized and I love that they allowed the children to be themselves and play. The librarian we spoke with was really nice. She assisted my son with finding basketball books. They had plenty of books to choose from, they also had plenty of games for the kids to play until story time started. Story time was okay. The lady was very friendly to the children and seemed to really enjoy them and knew how to keep them engaged. She didn't seem very organized but her stories + songs were engaging. Overall nice library.

They're inconsiderate of anyone else in the room, they smell to high heaven, they're aggressive and like to stare, and to top it off some of them will try to peddle shit on you. I once had this squirrelly little guy try to get me to buy some iPhone he stole, despite the fact I have one out and charging on the desk I'd been at.
