Using our materials.
Each of our partners maintain their own policies for publication which may or may not include a publication fee. If you are interested in using our materials in a publication we can put you in touch with a partner representative who can assist you.
In addition, our partners are responsible for determining copyright status of their materials. If you have questions or concerns about the status of an item(s), or would like to use an item(s) in a publication please contact us.
Topics found in our collections include Mississippi history, civil rights, blues, children's literature, family histories, the World Wars, military history and more.
Items include letters, documents, photographs, books, sheet music, scrapbooks, oral histories and digital reproductions of objects such as currency and uniforms.
We provide a digital collections platform for institutions that cannot host one themselves. You maintain control over your collections without worrying about putting them online or keeping them working.
Becoming a partner is easy. We provide FREE hosting and training to all Mississippi cultural heritage institutions regardless of religious or political affiliation.
We are proud to offer an annual Cultural Heritage Digitization Award designed to help an institution jump start or significantly increase their digital collections. Details and information can be found here.
We offer training at all stages of the digitization process from buying equipment and handling materials to creating metadata and file storage.
We may be able to help digitize materials that require the use of specialty equipment such as negatives, oversize, or fragile materials. Contact us if you have a specialty project.
