Description

The Original Library Project not only attempts to identify any volumes owned by the University of Mississippi between 1849 and 1858, it also documents their current physical condition, including inscriptions, handwritten notations (referred to as “marginalia”), and inserted ephemera. This display case features several examples of books with such notations, in both pencil and ink. This image is also used in an online exhibit available here.
