This subject guide outlines resources available in the Archives & Special Collections on the subjects of politics and government.  Since the collecting focus of the department is Mississippi, most of the material relates directly to the Magnolia State.  However, several of the manuscript collections also have national and international dimensions.  Material dates from the eighteenth century to the present.  The subject guide has four parts:
