Jamie L. Whitten Collection Series 2: Corps of Engineers The United States Army Corps of Engineers is a military command responsible for public engineering, design, and construction management. Projects include locks and dams, flood control, beach protection, dredging to improve waterway navigation, as well as design and construction of military facilities. This series of twenty-one boxes is based largely upon the filing system created by Representative Jamie Whitten s congressional office in the late 1950s and maintained until his retirement in January 1995 (although the archives had added material where appropriate from earlier years dating back to 1945). In addition to correspondence and reports between Whitten and the Corps, this series also includes related material from state and local officials as well as constituents. The Corps of Engineers series has four subseries. The first contains Mississippi water project files organized alphabetically by the name of the body of water or the name of the project. Subseries 2 holds general miscellaneous files on the Corps. Material may include non-project specific correspondence as well as documents with information on multiple water projects in Mississippi. The third subseries possesses subject files on topics such as leased federal land or soil conservation organized alphabetically by topic and then chronologically by year. Subseries 4 consists of oversized maps. Additional smaller and folded maps will appear throughout the entire series, not just in subseries 4. Researchers should be aware that other material related to the Corps may be located within the Departments & Agencies series, particularly among folders related to Defense, Transportation, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and the Soil Conservation Service documents in the Agriculture files.
