NEW ORLEANS RESEARCH LIBRARIES and ARCHIVES The Louisiana State Museum Housed in the Cabildo, the site of the signing of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and immediately proximate to the Pontalbas, a large scale mixeduse development designed by the Baroness Michaela Pontalba and presumable the nation’s first ‘development’ project, the Louisiana State Museum contains information regarding the early development of the City of New Orleans and surrounding regions. Jean Lafitte National Historic Park and Preserve The only national park that contains a significant urban component (the Vieux Carré), Jean Lafitte National Historic Park and Preserve maintains extensive archival holdings pertaining to archeological research, and documentation, historical studies, and cultural diversity studies of the lower Mississippi delta, among other holdings. New Orleans Notarial Archives A state agency, the Notarial Archives holds over 35 million pages of notarial contracts (from 1731) and maintains an extensive collection of maps, blueprints, topographical elevations, and design drawings. The Historic New Orleans Collections Located in the French Quarter, the Historic New Orleans Collection is a museum and research center for state and local history. The HNOC offers tours of the complex that houses the original artifacts and is decorated according the period interiors of the original 19 th century townhouse. The Williams Research Center contains a reading room that provides state-of-the-art access to books, manuscripts, paintings, prints, drawings, maps, photographs, and artifacts about the history and culture of New Orleans and Louisiana. Extensive holdings on plantations, cartography, urban development, Louisiana architects and artists, jazz, Mardi Gras, and the French Quarter are features of the collection. The Port Authority of the City of New Orleans Located just under the Crescent City Connection on the old Thalia Street Wharf, the Port Authority represents a seemingly inexhaustible source of information on the development of the City of New Orleans itself, the lower-Mississippi Valley, and surrounding regions. While the Port Authority is ostensibly concerned with the conduct and facilitation of commerce, there is a unique and expansive archive of drawings, photographs, and details associated with the infrastructure of the City of New Orleans and the Mississippi River and the various channels, spillways, levees, flood plains, and pumping stations that monitor the rise and fall of the water. In addition there is a large section of drawings and photographs pertaining to commercial, residential, and institutional
structures on hand, as well as city plans dating back over 200 years. Students are allowed access to these archives during regular business hours and receive free copies of drawings, photographs, and charts. The Army Corps of Engineers The Army Corps of Engineers is also an invaluable resource for architectural information. Like the port authority, the Corp of Engineers track the large-scale infrastructural concerns and conditions associated with the Lower Mississippi Valley. There is a rich source of information pertaining to technological development, as well as information pertaining to soils, erosion tables, climatology, and demographics. Students are allowed access to these archives during regular business hours. The expertise of the various individuals associated with the Corps has proved useful to a number of students and faculty in the School of Architecture. Preservation Resource Center The Preservation Resource Center promotes the preservation of New Orleans’ historic architecture by expanding the constituency that understands the economic, cultural and aesthetic importance of historic preservation, and by involving citizens in preservation projects and services. A non-profit organization, the PRC has been instrumental in the redevelopment of the warehouse district and focuses on the problem of vacant and deteriorated houses in older neighborhoods. The PRC oversees the sixteen areas (neighborhoods) designated by the National Register of Historic Places as historic districts (national historic landmarks in the case of the Garden District and the Vieux Carré. Students are encouraged to join and are active in various projects associated with the PRC such as Christmas in October. Historic District Landmarks Commission The Historic District Landmarks Commission (HDLC) is a municipal agency that is concerned with the recognition and preservation of the many historic districts and landmarks in the City of New Orleans. The HDLC has a significant collection of historic documents, drawings, and plans that may be accessed by the students and faculty alike.
