Williams Library, The University of Mississippi Return to Table of Contents » SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE This artificially created collection contains a variety of material (including publications, speech transcripts, manuscripts, programs, campaign literature, bumper stickers, campaign buttons, and correspondence) on individual Mississippi politicians and the state’s politics in general. The archives continues to add material to the collection as the repository acquires individual items on these topics. Return to Table of Contents » ARRANGEMENT Folders in the first two boxes are initially arranged alphabetically by the name of the individual politician, followed by more general categories at the end of the second box. The third box holds campaign buttons. Oversized Box 1 contains oversized material, such as campaign posters and bumper stickers, which are organized alphabetically by politician. Thus, a researcher should check an individual’s name on both alphabetical lists.
