For more than twenty years, Lynda Crist and Mary Dix were editors of The Papers of Jefferson Davis at Rice University.   Mary Seaton Dix retired in 1995 after twenty-six years with the project, but as coeditor emerita continues to volunteer her considerable expertise.  At once a publishing venture (14 volumes, Louisiana State University Press), archive, and research center, the Davis Project is now part of the Fondren Library’s Woodson Research Center at Rice.
