The Department of Archives & Special Collections needs YOUR help to augment our collections relating to University of Mississippi Commencement activities! Anyone with programs, written memories about past speakers, invitations, news clippings, photographs, ephemera, audio, or any other related archival memorabilia that they would like to donate is encouraged to contact Dr. Jennifer Ford, Head of Archives & Special Collections, at jwford@olemiss.edu or 662.915.7408.

Additionally, everyone is invited to view selections from our current holdings in an exhibit entitled “A Selected History of Commencement at the University of Mississippi” in the glass display cases on the third floor of the library.
