Project Partners
As we worked on this project, we were met with generosity and enthusiasm by colleagues across the state and beyond. We were duly impressed by these stewards of Tennessee’s historical documents, who take particular pride in preserving, protecting, and making them available for scholars. Trials, Triumphs, and Transformations includes items from over 45 institutions and several items from private collections.
