It is a commonplace assumption that modernity comes late to England. This argument assumes that humanism and the Reformation create a sudden break for English history. "Recursive Origins" proposes a model of historical transition based in the continual engagement with the presence of the past. Rather than discovering an insular England fundamentally transformed by modernity, it suggests that fifteenth-century writers such as Lydgate, Malory, and Caxton developed a complex skepticism about textual culture inclusive of secular and religious authority, and profoundly influential to their strongest readers, Spenser and Shakespeare. Reading and writing: the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries exist in a circuit of cultural production. |

This is the first full-length scholarly monograph on the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW), the largest black women’s organization in the United States at the height of the Civil Rights Movement and Black Power Era. Whereas recent studies of militant and visible civil rights efforts seek to retrieve and analyze a radical model of social change, this story examines how the middle class black women of the NCNW used their respectability, moderate reputation, and national network to gain access to and money from powerful political and business leaders from the late 1950s through the 1970s. Their private, non-governmental, self-help approach even appealed to conservative leaders. However, NCNW also funneled financial resources and support to projects and individuals deemed too controversial by mainstream America to gain funding on their own, thus challenging clear-cut boundaries between radicals and moderates, leftists and liberals. |

Wheelchairs, Crutches, and Disability in Victorian Literature will be the first monograph to center mobility aids and their users in its approach to analyzing Victorian literary depictions of disability. I argue that mobility aids are not mere peripherals but profoundly shape disabled characters’ experiences, narrative arcs, and social and spatial relations within Victorian literature. This project contributes to the study of both literature and disability during a key period in the history of disability. I also contextualize literary representations with a broader examination of how mobility aids are discussed and pictured in nineteenth-century medical journals, newspaper articles, song lyrics, catalogues, and advertisements. An NEH Summer Stipend for June and July of 2022 would enable me to make progress on chapter 4 of the project, which focuses on disabled child characters in Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol (1843) and Dinah Mulock Craik’s A Noble Life (1866). |

The USM Gulf Coast Library at the Long Beach campus contains monographs and special collections in paper and film formats. Since 1992, USM has had a Disaster Response Action Team (DRAT) that conducts regular drills and training based on a collections disaster preparedness plan. Days before the hurricane, the DRAT was activated and carried out many activities that included moving selected collections away from windows and pre-positioning plastic sheeting in storage areas. When staff gained limited access to the Gulf Coast Library, which sustained flooding on the first floor, and started a generator to regain control of the temperature and relative humidity, they discovered a mold outbreak in the collections. Following an assessment by DRAT and an architect, the decision was made to use a well-known library disaster recovery service to relocate the collections and begin stabilizing the environment by removing shelving, carpet, and some sheet rock walls. The service contractor is also providing a freeze method to dry and recover materials designated by the team for salvage. The contractor's estimate for its services is $110,000. |

They include digital surrogates of documents, photographs, museum objects, oral history recordings, and public records related to the civil rights movement and other topics in the history of the state, region, and nation. Some of the resources represented in the project include The Papers of Ulysses S. Grant (Mississippi State University), Blues Photographs (University of Mississippi), and the De Grummond Children's Literature Collection (University of Southern Mississippi). The statewide collaboration has led to free access to these resources by scholars, teachers, students, and the general public. The planned workshop on best practices for sustaining digital collections would be open to persons from across the state. Other participating institutions include Jackson State University, Gulf Park College for Women, Hinds County Community College, Delta State University, and Columbus-Lowndes Public Library.
The University of Southern Mississippi Libraries is seeking support to address digital preservation needs of the Mississippi Digital Library, which is the cooperative digital library program for the state. Funding will be used to hire two consultants to conduct a preservation needs assessment for the Mississippi Digital Library. The consultants will assess current policies, practices, and conditions, prepare a report summarizing their findings, suggest needed training, and help draft a long-range plan for the care and preservation of these digital collections. Funding will also be used to provide a one-day workshop on evaluating digital preservation risks, standards for digital preservation, and best practices for sustaining digital collections. The ultimate goal of this project is to gain the knowledge needed for the statewide digital library program to adequately address digital preservation concerns. |

Recorded on analog media, these media are currently available only to scholars who can access the collection in person and they are in danger of degradation due to age and media. We ask for funding to support the digitization of these oral histories, compilation of detailed recording logs, and cataloging through the University Libraries. Digital media will then be shared, with complete metadata, to scholars and the public by publishing not only in the Southern Mississippi card catalog, but also through the Mississippi Digital Library (http://www.msdiglib.org) and the Civil Rights Digital Archive. |
