For the
third time since 1991, the de Grummond Children's Literature
Collection has received a substantial grant from the National
Endowment for the Humanities. Dee Jones, project director,
submitted the proposal in July 2000 and was informed of the
award in April 2001. The $229,677 award will allow for the
sorting, arrangement, description, and cataloging of the original
manuscripts and illustrations created by 73 authors and illustrators
whose work is significant to the study of children's literature.
The arrangement and description of original materials, as
well as making these materials accessible through various
electronic sources is a time-consuming and exacting undertaking.Funds
received through this grant and matched by funds from The
University of Southern Mississippi, will provide salaries
for three full-time employees for a period of nearly two years,
beginning in October 2001..

The collections
that will be processed include personal papers, typescripts,
correspondence, drafts, galleys, illustrations, and other
related materials. A descriptive register giving a biographical
sketch, a description of the materials held in the de Grummond
Collection, and a folder-by-folder listing of all holdings
will be created for each of the 73 collections. These registers
will be available through the de Grummond Collection Web
page making the full text accessible to researchers throughout
the world. Each register will contain a photograph of the
author or illustrator, as well as scans of selected manuscripts
and illustrations.
The following
is a list of the collections that will be processed as a part
of this grant. The amount of cubic feet held for each author
or illustrator is also provided.
