The Mdah Historical Map Collection On The Move: Preservation And Access, Carolyn Woodley
The Mdah Historical Map Collection On The Move: Preservation And Access, Carolyn Woodley
The Primary Source
The maps known as the MDAH Historical Map Collection came together in the 1970s as a "special collection" of largely published, monographic maps of the Southeast region and the state of Mississippi dating from the late sixteenth century through the late nineteenth century. Considered to be the most significant maps held by the department, many of these maps could be found in standard map bibliographies for America and the large group of Mississippi city and county maps by a variety of publishers and a collection of early twentieth century U.S.D.A. county soil maps for Mississippi. It is important to note …
Maps As Evidence In Maritime Boundary Disputes: Louisiana V. Mississippi, James H. Wolfe
Maps As Evidence In Maritime Boundary Disputes: Louisiana V. Mississippi, James H. Wolfe
The Primary Source
Below the thirty-first parallel the Pearl River is the boundary between Louisiana and Mississippi. Its estuary empties into the Mississippi Sound - an arm of the sea separating the coast of Mississippi on the north from the Louisiana shore on the south. At the turn of the century oystering was a thriving industry, and the absence of a lateral seaward boundary led to ongoing friction between the oystermen of Louisiana and Mississippi. In addition to the problem of licensing fishing boats, Mississippi law permitted dredging oyster beds, whereas Louisiana authorities imposed fines on those caught using dredges. By 1902, an …

Primary Sources Via Ebay: Building An Archival Postcard Collection, Reagan L. Grimsley
The Primary Source
In 1898, Congress authorized the use of Private Mailing Cards, better known today as the postcard. At the turn of the twentieth century, a postcard craze swept the nation, and sending, receiving, and collecting postcards became a favorite pastime of Americans. Early manufacturers such as E. C. Kropp, Arthur Livingstone, and the American Souvenir Company produced a wide variety of cards featuring a broad range of people, places, and events. Although designed to serve as a means of communication between parties, many of these cards were based on original photographs, and serve to document the culture and history of locales …
Curating The Papers Of Best-Selling Authors: A Preliminary Case Study Of The John Grisham Papers, Mattie Sink
Curating The Papers Of Best-Selling Authors: A Preliminary Case Study Of The John Grisham Papers, Mattie Sink
The Primary Source
In 1989, Mississippi State University (MSU) acquired the papers of alumnus, lawyer and Mississippi State legislator John Grisham, who was at the time selling his first novel A Time to Kill out of the trunk of his car. Though the first accession of papers was small, consisting of the early papers of Grisham's legislative career, the acquisition was an exciting one. Mississippi State University has long exhibited pride in its alumni, and the MSU Library's collection of papers reflected that pride and connection. Although University President Don Zacharias and Library Directory George Lewis certainly had high hopes for Grisham's writing …

Murder With Southern Hospitality: An Exhibition Of Mississippi Mysteries, Jennifer Ford

In the process of gathering the papers of many of Mississippi's distinguished authors, Dr. Thomas Verich, then Head of Special Collections, noted a missing piece in the literary collections of the department in the early 1990s. Working with then Curator of Mississippi Collections, Debbie Lee Landi, Dr. Verich observed the burgeoning output of murder mystery fiction written by Mississippians. Dr. Verich and Ms. Landi approached University of Mississippi alumnus and award winning mystery author Julie Smith. She generously donated her papers and thus began the core of a new collecting interest of the department. The papers of Nevada Barr followed …
The Ten Most Basic Things I Can Tell You About Processing Literary Papers, Hans Rasmussen
The Ten Most Basic Things I Can Tell You About Processing Literary Papers, Hans Rasmussen
The Primary Source
These little gems of knowledge that I gained over a couple of years spent exclusively processing literary archives got me through some pretty rough roads. While the basic archival principles I learned in school still applied, I nonetheless perceived some unique qualities in authors' papers that required the adoption of special methods. So, in the spirit of state archival camaraderie, I'd like to share the ten most useful things I learned about processing literary papers for the benefit of those who haven't had to deal with them yet.

The Elms: Time Capsule Of Natchez And Vicksburg Urban Life, Michael Hennen
The Elms: Time Capsule Of Natchez And Vicksburg Urban Life, Michael Hennen
The Primary Source
The earliest portion of the town residence currently known as the Elms was built in Natchez, Mississippi, on an eleven-acre tract that John Henderson purchased from William Barland in 1804. A native of Scotland, Henderson had settled in the Natchez District in 1787, and he was the author of the first book to be published in Natchez. Henderson later advertised the Elms for sale in the Natchez Chronicle on April 30, 1810. It was purchased by Lewis Evans, first sheriff of the Mississippi Territory. After the death of his wife, Sarah, on May 13, 1815, Evans sold the property to …
Antebellum Homes Of The "Untouched City", Russell D. James
Antebellum Homes Of The "Untouched City", Russell D. James
The Primary Source
During the American Civil War, Union troops were driven away from Columbus at the Battle of West Point by General Nathan B. Forrest. Consequently, over 200 antebellum structures, most of these homes, were saved the destruction similar to that of so many homes in so many other Southern cities and towns. Columbus is luckily the "Untouched City." The antebellum homes bespeak a grandeur not seen in many communities of its size today. Unfortunately, few primary source records survive to tell the stories of these homes and the people who lived and live in them. Some home owners, curious about their …
Meadow Woods Plantation, Oktibbeha County, Mississippi, And The Nannie Herndon Rice Papers At Mississippi State University Libraries, Mattie Sink
The Primary Source
Meadow Woods is one of the oldest standing homes in Oktibbeha County. This traditional antebellum home in the Oktoc area is on the National Historic Register, but is privately owned and not open to the public. The house has been owned by members of the same family since 1848, can be definitely dated to 1841, and is known to have been built a few years earlier. While Meadow Woods is certainly remarkable as one of the fewer than ten antebellum homes remaining in Oktibbeha County, the existence of the Nannie Herndon Rice Family Papers, a nearly complete set of documentation …
