Items evoking the Mid-South's connections to cotton will be accepted at the museum until 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 20.
Participation is open to the public.
Guest curator Linda Kroff is looking for all types of memorabilia, including photos, diaries, letters, business records and equipment. Kroff will photograph each piece submitted and return it in its original form. Persons who lend items to the museum will be invited to help create the exhibition during its installation phase, Monday, Sept. 23 through Friday, Oct. 4. During the installation, Kroff will project photo negatives of memorabilia onto darkened gallery walls. Participants will then develop and fix the photos by spraying chemicals onto them.
