Eudora Welty's Photographs

The Millsaps-Wilson Library has a standing exhibition of 18 black-and-white photographs taken by Jackson author, Eudora Welty. These 18 photographs are placed on the walls of the hall leading to the alcove as well as the walls of the alcove. The majority of these photographs were taken during the 1930s and the 1940s when Ms. Welty traveled the state of Mississippi capturing folk life subjects with her camera.

This collection of photographs was given to the Millsaps-Wilson Library by Ruth Redig Watson, class of 1948 and a Trustee of the College.
