October is American Archives Month. This will be noted tomorrow afternoon at three inside Mullins Library. Keynote speakers for this event devoted to history will be a pair of teenage historians. Sarah and Emma Bailin attend Central High in Little Rock and have been making short documentaries since they were eleven years old.
