About Mississippi Digital Library

The Mississippi Digital Library is a collaborative online library for the state of Mississippi. It lets users search and explore cultural and historical materials held by partner institutions across the state, including archives, historical societies, museums, and public and academic libraries. Searching the collections and partnering with the library are stated to be free, and the library commits to free open access to its digital collections.

The library also helps partner institutions digitize materials and publish them. Its services include free hosting for 24/7 public access, digitization assistance through specific programs and grant-funded projects, training, and resources on policies, metadata, workflows, and rights statements. Partner institutions own and maintain the original materials. Not every item a partner holds is online, because institutions often have more material than they can show on the site.
