Our newest online collection is the Barrie Lucien Holt Papers. This collection covers Holt’s life as a capitalist, planter, financier and Quartermaster General of the Alabama National Guard. Holt was an organizer and majority shareholder in the Prattville Cotton Mills and Banking Company, as well as a partner in D.M. Snow and Company, which owned a hardware store and engaged in money-lending. The bulk of the papers are from the latter 19th and first decade of the 20th century. Thanks to our G.T.A. for the spring semester, Ephranette, for all her hard work on this collection!
