The Arkansas Living History Association (ALHA) was founded in 2007. The association is dedicated to the advancement of living history as a form of interpretation, the encouragement of interaction and cooperation between individuals and institutions engaged in living history, the promotion of professional standards among living historians and at living history sites, and the development of public support for and interest in living history in Arkansas.
ALHA is governed by a board elected by its members. The board consists of a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Communications Director, and four representatives from four geographical sections of Arkansas.
