The Department of Archives and Special Collections in the J. D. Williams Library houses the research materials purchased with funds from the Harry Owens Civil War Library Endowment.

About the Collection and Endowment

The Center for Civil War Research funds the purchase of archival materials related to the Civil War era in Mississippi and the surrounding region. These materials are available to students, to the public, and to researchers from around the world as part of the permanent collection in the Department of Archives and Special Collections.

Through their generous donations, former students of beloved University of Mississippi Civil War historian Harry Owens created the Harry Owens Civil War Library Endowment. The funds from this endowment double our library's capacity to buy and preserve documents, helping us expand the Civil War research collection in the university archives.
