Archives & Research

The Center for Louisiana Studies’ Research Division facilitates access to the wealth of primary source materials available in the archival collections, managing all new acquisitions, supervising the cataloging and digitizing of all materials, and developing fieldwork projects. The Center for Louisiana Studies Archives are primarily audio-visual in nature, covering a broad array of materials related to the history and cultures of the state of Louisiana. The Center's archives also house materials collected as a result of CLS research work (including images, oral histories, and some paper materials) and a wide variety of materials donated specifically to the ACCF at the donor's discretion.
