United Daughters of the Confederacy. Mississippi Division

The Mississippi Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy was organized in the late nineteenth century, with the first annual convention held in Meridian in April 1897. Archival records in Mississippi describe its goals as social, historical, and memorial, and note its efforts to collect and preserve material about the Civil War era.

The division also produced publications, including Our Heritage, its official periodical, which began in 1906. Surviving records suggest a long institutional life through chapter activity, membership rolls, correspondence, and convention work across the state.

Because this is an organization rather than an individual author, there is no single personal biography to give here. In library and archive catalogs, it is treated as a corporate author connected with works such as Beauvoir: Jefferson Davis Shrine and with historical records preserved by Mississippi repositories.
