Mary Seaton Dix

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.
