MDAH - Mississippi Department of Archives and History

Tomorrow is the big day. My research students ( Jonathan Zuniga-Hernandez, Jessica Gutierrez, Billy Hall) and I will visit the Mississippi Department of Archives and History March 17, 2016.  I am so excited about what we could find. I hope we can find some maps but I am not confident we will find any.  Ms. Forrest Galey is our contact person and will be our guide tomorrow.

I am also interested in exploring is the economics of the Boddie Plantation.  When it was a working plantation there had to be some records of transactions.  Maybe we can find evidence of the actual slaves.  That would be a significant find.
