The Draper Manuscripts are absolutely tops and a unique source of information for our early southern history. We are so fortunate to have them in Birmingham. Given a choice of what to order, there is no other collection I personally would have given priority over this one and I am so happy to learn they are in our downtown library! Below is a link to other states and the locations of some facilities who have also purchased the complete microfilmed collection: http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/military/draper/resources.asp Wish I could attend the meeting. Thank you so much, Melissa, for this information and all your hard work and sharing. Evelyn S. Leslie Remlap, AL
