Series 1. Starkville Daily News.

The Starkville Daily News and Daily Times Leader photographs contains photographic prints and negatives, often accompanied by clippings from the respective newspaper, which document the people and events covered by the Starkville Daily News and Daily News Leader in Oktibbeha County and Clay County, Mississippi, and beyond between 1960 and 1975. The eleven folders include photographs of people from colleges and schools, official meetings, community... events, political campaigns, sporting and social events.
