<!--[[Image:{{Birth Icon}}]]-->In 1877, a few county and city clerks<ref>such as {{FHL|1881199|title-id|disp=Sebastian County}} (Fort Smith) and Pulaski County (Little Rock) (No entry in FamilySearch Catalog found for Pulaski County nor for Little Rock, Aug 2014)</ref> started keeping birth and death records. 

In 1914, the state law required all county clerks to record births and forward them to the state.
