Students and faculty have access to new historical databases in the J.D. Williams Library.<\/p><\/div>\n

OXFORD, Miss. \u2013 The University of Mississippi’s John D. Williams Library has acquired new databases on the history of slavery and the Civil War, available online through http:\/\/www.libraries.olemiss.edu<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new databases are part of the American Antiquarian Society’s collection and are accessible to all UM students and faculty.<\/span><\/p>\n

The databases became available for purchase in March. With help from the Department of History, College of Liberal Arts and the library, commitments for most of the funding were in place by July. The library was able to purchase access in August.<\/span><\/p>\n

“In acquiring access to these important archives, the university underscores its commitment to research,” said John Neff, associate professor of history and director of the UM\u00a0Center for Civil War Research. “The American Antiquarian Society’s collections are renowned, and access to their important Civil War and slavery collections will be a great advantage to our undergraduate and graduate students alike.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Access can be gained by going to the J.D. William’s Library’s website, and searching for “Readex: The American Civil War Collection, 1860-1922,” or “Readex: The American Slavery Collection, 1820-1922” in the database search bar.<\/span><\/p>\n
