The Arkansas State University (ASU) Board of Trustees, as a prerequisite for the museum’s accreditation, legally recognized the Arkansas State University Museum as an integral part of the university and issued a statement of permanence. The Arkansas State University Museum, located on ASU campus in Jonesboro (Craighead County), holds significant historic, archaeological, and natural history collections hailing primarily from the state of Arkansas. One of the first museums in the Southeast to be accredited by the American Association of Museums (AAM), it is the largest and most comprehensive museum in northeast Arkansas.
