Established in December 1989, the mission of this Museum is to provide a center for collection, conservation, interpretation, and research concerned with the history of Arkansas Tech University while making this knowledge and interpretation available to the community served by Arkansas Tech University. 

The Museum officially opened in April 1992 and accepts visitors between the hours of 9:00 a.m.. and 4:00 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday, as well as by special appointment, for evening lectures, and through events.

Each Spring semester, the Museum offers a course entitled Interpretation/Education through Museum Methods, listed as MUSM (ANTH, HIST) 4403(5403).

Update! Update! Update! Update! Update! Update! Update!

SALE! � All Light Impressions archival supplies inventory at The Museum Store is ON SALE at tremendous savings of HALF OFF HALF PRICE through the end of August.  This inventory is slightly dated from when Light Impressions ended all small dealer relationships in about 2006.  All items in our inventory are still in excellent condition for archival care and we want to make space for new items.

PLACING A NEW ORDER - The Museum Store is also assembling an archival supplies order to Gaylord Brothers as part of re-stocking archival supplies and preservation resources for the upcoming fiscal year.  If you have a list of archival supplies you need, or even individual items you will need in the next 3-6 months, The Museum Store can place a large grouped order and receive free shipping to our site.  

As an office, department, or employee/student of the University, The Museum Store is also generally able to save our customers 3-5% off of the catalog retail prices.  If you need a Gaylord Brothers catalog, we have them at the Store, or you can determine what you need at www.Gaylord.com and send that information to Judith Stewart-Abernathy, Museum Director, at jstewartabernathy@atu.edu.

Ordering your archival supplies through The Museum Store takes the hassle out of ordering.  We research the best prices available from our list of vendors, compile orders and, once your order is approved by you, place the order and track it in transit.  Patronizing The Museum Store also supports your local museum, since any net revenues generated support Museum programming.
