LOUIS Digital Library

The LOUIS Digital Library is a product of the Louisiana Library Network, which includes many of Louisiana's public and private academic institutions, the State Library of Louisiana, museums, archives, and other cultural institutions from around the state. Here you will find digitized collections from a variety of institutions representing Louisiana's diverse cultural heritage.

This is a really kickin' collection of collections featuring not only scanned photos and documents, but also audio files, images of three dimensional objects, and scholarly research. Everyone who is curious about Louisiana's rich cultural history will find this page very interesting. The LOUIS Digital Library is constantly growing as collections are added or enhanced.

The University where I work - Northwestern State University - is part of the LOUIS Consortium and we have two collections on the LOUIS DL. These are the Millspaugh photograph collection and the Natchitoches Chamber of Commerce Collection. Incidentally, Natchitoches is the oldest permanent settlement in the Louisiana Purchase. It was founded in 1714 - four years before New Orleans.
