Donations
The Louisiana and Special Collections Department welcomes inquiries regarding the donation of materials to our archives. Patrons interested in familiarizing themselves with the why, what, and how of donating your personal or organizational documents and materials should visit the Society of American Archivists' guide to "Donating Your Personal or Family Papers to a Repository" and "Donating Your Organizational Records to a Repository". Potential donors will be required to sign a "Deed of Gift" form, which is necessary to ensure that the Louisiana and Special Collections Department is granted proper legal ownership and custody of the materials. For more information on Deeds of Gift, visit the Society of American Archivists' "Guide to Deeds of Gift".
