Manuscript collections come from a variety of sources. Many of the collections relate to rural life in South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã but also include the papers of alumni. Most of the collections offer significant insight into South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã or the region, but the primary focus of this collection is twentieth century rural South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã. These materials may include:

  • Papers, records and published materials of South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã and alumni authors.
  • Modern political papers, including grassroots politics and political figures associated with South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã and South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã State University.
  • South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã and regional materials — including, but not limited to, the papers of organizations, local businesses, community figures, families and especially material related to farming and its development in South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã.

All material is treated according to the guidelines set forth in individual gift agreements governing a particular collection and the policies and procedures of the Archives.
