Description
Between 1925 and 1933, Judge Stone Deavours donated approximately 567 publications to the University of Mississippi. The collection’s exclusive focus was Mississippiana: all the works were either written by Mississippians or contain significant content about the state. It includes pamphlets from the early nineteenth century, novels, poetry, travel literature, history, and other types of nonfiction. The Judge Stone Deavours Collection was a foundational gift. Prior to the opening of the Archives & Special Collections in 1975, the library sequestered these rare volumes along with similarly focused book and manuscript holdings in the “Mississippi Room.”
