I don't know, but re what records are stored - the state health department says the following:
Arkansas Vital Records has marriage records dating from January 1917. Marriages occurring before that date are not recorded in this office.
Arkansas Vital Records has divorce records dating from January 1923. Divorces occurring before this date are not recorded in this office.
Arkansas Vital Records has birth records dating from February 1, 1914 through the present. There are a limited number of birth records available prior to 1914. Those records were filed with Arkansas Vital Records after 1914. We also have original copies of some Little Rock and Fort Smith births dating from 1881.
