LAMA D IRECTORY: A Guide to Institutions in Louisiana Holding Genealogical and Historical Records Collections


In 1984 the Friends of the Louisiana Archives published a directory to archival repositories in Louisiana. The booklet listed just academic and large public or private collections. In 1993 the Society of Southwest Archivists published a directory to archival repositories in its six state region: Arkansas, Arizona, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Alfred Lemmon, who compiled the entries for Louisiana, gathered information on more repositories than had appeared in the earlier guide. However, the new directory did not include many smaller repositories in the state which could be invaluable sources of material for local historians and genealogists. The SSA guide also did not include newer communication contact points such as e-mail addresses or Internet URL's. Therefore the Louisiana Archives and Manuscripts Association [the successor organization to the Friends of the Louisiana Archives] decided to support the compilation of a more detailed guide.

This volume is designed to assist genealogists as well as historians and other researchers. Some of the smaller associations list no archival holdings but are included as a contact point for those interested in the history or families of a particular locality. Addresses of the Clerk of Court for each parish are included in a separate listing since those offices contain so many documents of interest to people researching Louisiana subjects. This guide only lists Louisiana repositories. Much research material on the state is located elsewhere: the Library of Congress, the National Archives; the Southwest Branch of the National Archives [Ft. Worth, TX]; the Center for American History at the University of Texas-Austin; the Southern Historical Collection at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill; etc. These repositories are not included in this guide.

As with all guides such as this one, the information is often out-dated by the time it is published. Personnel changes occur constantly. One other change of note: the area code for the Baton Rouge area has recently changed.

The co-editors would like to thank several people for their invaluable assistance in preparing this work: David Guillory, Frazar Memorial Library, McNeese State University, ploughed through Library of Congress Subject Headings to determine the proper subject entries. Carol Casey, Edith Garland Dupre Library, University of Southwestern Louisiana helped in explicating computer program idiosyncracies. The Louisiana Archives and Manuscripts Association hope that this guide will be useful to all people interested in studying any aspect of the past in Louisiana by pointing them towards repositories which might have relevant resources.

Kathie Bordelon, McNeese State University
Bruce Turner, University of Southwestern Louisiana
