At noon on Wednesday, July 22, Susannah Ural, the Frank and Virginia Williams Chair for Abraham Lincoln and Civil War Studies at Mississippi State University, will present on the nation’s largest privately held collection of Lincolniana as part of the History Is Lunch series. Ural will use the Williams Collection of Lincolniana from Mississippi State University to discuss how America’s founding documents inspired Lincoln’s understanding of freedom, democracy, and citizenship during the American Civil War. This free event will take place in the Craig H. Neilsen Auditorium of the Two Mississippi Museums and will stream live on the MDAH page and YouTube channel.

Tonya Thompson recently visited the Mississippi State University Libraries to tour the MaxxSouth Digital Media Center and present a generous gift supporting the Libraries’ MaxxSouth Broadband and John Robinson Block Special Collection Excellence Fund.
