In March 2004 Tougaloo College and the Mississippi Department of Archives and History entered into a collaboration to ensure the long-term preservation of and access to the collections that comprise the Tougaloo College Civil Rights Collection. The collaborative partnership agreement allowed Tougaloo to loan the collections to MDAH for reprocessing, preservation, and cataloging. To date, all but four collections have been reprocessed and cataloged. The remaining four unprocessed collections are available with curator's permission.
