Historical papers digitization project<\/p>\n
We would like to digitize\u00a0the Locust Grove Plantation slave ledger and the 19th<\/sup> century UM board minutes. Together they constitute about 1796\u00a0pages (4\u00a0ledgers) and we estimate it will take about 30\u00a0hours to complete. The Locust Grove ledger covers the time period 1825-1845. This is believed to be a ledger from the Postlewait family of Mississippi. Samuel Postlewait entered the territory in the early 1800s and was a successful planter and a founder of the Bank of Mississippi. This ledger is significant for its slave lists with notations on marriages, births, and deaths. The UM Board Minutes consist of the earliest two ledgers (1845-1897) of the Minutes of the Board of Trustees for the University of Mississippi. Information contained include references to financial expenditures, student enrollment and activities, slavery, the onset of the Civil War, and numerous other topics related to the University.<\/p>\n Cost: $1,000<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Windows Tinting project<\/p>\n Following up on the success of the windows tinting project profiled in this Keywords, we would like to continue adding tinting to remaining Library windows. WE have 10 windows of one size, which cost $550 each. We also have 2 windows of double size. Each of those would cost $820 each.<\/p>\n Cost: $550 per window (for 10 windows) $820 per larger window (for two\u00a0windows)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
