Now that Preservation in Mississippi has been around a while, here’s an easy compendium of the various series known and loved by MissPresers.
- Abandoned Mississippi: Highlighting the abandoned but historic places in the state, especially those still able to be repaired and saved.
- Book Quotes: Excerpts and discussion of books about preservation, architectural history, and Mississippi architecture.
- From the Archives: Occasional multi-part series highlighting important but usually unpublished or rare documents about Mississippi’s architecture found in libraries or archives.
- Historic Hotels: An occasional series about the historic hotels of Mississippi, some lost, some grandly restored, some still waiting.
- Lost Mississippi: Reminding readers of historic places lost over the years due to fire, hurricanes, tornadoes, demolition, or simple neglect.
- Name This Place: Week-long contests that bring out the competitive juices of MissPres readers, in which the reader who correctly identifies the most historic places wins the coveted title “Mississippi Preservationist Extraordinaire.”
- To . . . and Back Again: An occasional series of travel logs about trips around our interesting state.
- Vacation Postcards: A tradition whenever MissPres goes on vacation: sending back postcards from Mississippi’s early tourist era, the middle of the twentieth century.
