From the Announcement:
With the digitization process now complete, the 31 volumes of Ulysses S. Grant's collected papers now are available online through the Mississippi State University Libraries.

In its physical form, the complete Grant collection of about 350,000 items spans some 15,000 linear feet of traditional storage.
"Digitizing these papers and making them available online for free is the modern way of sharing information with the world," said Marszalek, a nationally prominent Civil War historian, author and MSU Giles Distinguished Professor Emeritus.
