The University of Southern Mississippi received a $108,925 National Historical Publications and Records Grants project award from the National Archives and Records Administration to support the completion of editorial work on an additional 1,700 documents for the Civil War and Reconstruction Governors of Mississippi Digital Documentary Edition. This edition will ultimately contain nearly 20,000 documents sent and received by the Mississippi governors from late 1859 to early 1882. The National Historical Publications and Records Grants program supports activities related to the preservation, publication, and use of documentary sources relating to U.S. history. This award will allow the University to further develop this digital collection of primary sources that provide insight into this pivotal period in Mississippi and U.S. history.
