Dept. of Archives and History (RG 31). State Historical Museums (SG 8).

      This series consists of information relating to the restoration of the Old Capitol Museum. A large quantity of the information deals with assessment and recovery from damage taken during Hurricane Katrina. This series includes: budget spreadsheets, transmittals, restoration bid proposals, correspondence, Katrina recovery files, exhibit schematics, invoices, incident reports, a few photographs, and one slide. This series also contains three electronic files: (1) 2009 Restoration of the Mississippi Old Capitol Building: The Issues Addressed and the Decisions Rendered, Part 2, Comprehensive Historical Report on the 2009 Restoration of the Old Mississippi State Capitol, by Robert Parker Adams, saved as a Microsoft Word document; (2) a Microsoft Word document containing images of the restoration process, with captions; and (3) a PDF file of a computer drawing of the infrastructure of the Old Capitol dome. Part 1 of the report consists of three binders of paper documentation compiled by MDAH Architectural Historian Richard Cawthon that are currently housed in the office of the Old Capitol Museum Director and were not included in this series. There is no strict arrangement to this finding aid.
