| Title: | Louisiana historical photographs of the State Library |
| Date: | 1930-1979 |
| Description: | The Historic Photograph Collection of the State Library of Louisiana features predominantly black and white photographs from 1930's to 1970's. There is a strong emphasis on photographs of notable Louisiana personalities governors, artists, authors and musicians. Historic buildings and other architectural gems, such as plantations and churches, are included. Because Louisiana has long had historic ties to the military, the collection includes the 1940 Maneuvers as well as various military facilities. The recreational aspects of the "The Sportsman's Paradise" are emphasized with images of hunting, fishing, and camping. The civil rights-related photographs depict a Klan rally in Baton Rouge, Judge J. Minor Wisdom, and a riot in Bogalusa. The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata. |
