The Eudora Welty Collection: Mississippi Department of Archives and History.

This article details the management, accessibility, and recent developments related to the Eudora Welty Collection held by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH). It explains that materials donated or bequeathed by Welty and her heirs are maintained as a distinct collection, while newly acquired Welty-related items not from the estate are cataloged separately. Supported by a National Endowment for the Humanities grant completed in 2023, MDAH has digitized select series of Welty’s papers and photographs, which are accessible online through the Eudora Welty Digital Archives. The article also outlines procedures for researchers to access physical and digital materials, request reproductions, and obtain publication rights, noting that copyright is controlled by Eudora Welty, LLC. Additionally, it highlights the 2024 Eudora Welty Research Fellowship and a new paid internship program focused on archival processing within the collection.
