Fourteen documentaries created by University of Arkansas professor Larry Foley of the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences' School of Journalism and Strategic Media are now available for viewing through the U of A's institutional repository, ScholarWorks@UARK.

"I'm very pleased this body of work from my career as a documentary storyteller has a new outlet of distribution. I hope these films will assist students and researchers in future projects, and will be as much fun to watch, as they were to produce," said Foley, who is also chair of School of Journalism and Strategic Media.

  • Governor from Greasy Creek, Larry Foley, 1994

"Anyone can enjoy them, but we hope that educators across the state will find them particularly useful for their classes."
