From early November, but I missed it then. The Association of Southeastern Research Libraries: ASERL Launches Shared Exhibit.

Items in the exhibit include auction records and other bills of sale, plantation records, materials from the abolitionist movement, and photographs and other items from the Jim Crow South.”
