- Biographical Index Search - Mississippi Department of Archives and History
Begun by the Department sometime in the mid-1930s before the death in 1937 of Dunbar Rowland, the Department's first director. Much of the indexing was done in the ensuing administration of William D. McCain (1938-1955), with some additional indexing done in the years following. Although not all of the index keys have survived completely, the index is still useful.
