The Historical Society of Gulfport will meet Thursday, November 11, 2021, from 6-7 pm at the Vestry (formerly St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church).
Brennan Collins, Research Center Coordinator, will discuss his role in establishing the Gulfport Museum of History Research Center and his work with the Mississippi Digital Library.
Currently a graduate student in the University of Southern Mississippi’s School of Master of Library and Information Science, he is credited with making the Ralph Bean Architectural Collection the museum’s initial entry in the Mississippi Digital Library.
The research center and Brennan’s part-time position were funded by a grant through the American Rescue Plan, along with the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Mississippi Humanities Council.
