Louisiana Digital Library

We are the front door to Louisiana's digital cultural heritage. Built by @lsulibraries. Lots of members. Lots of great stuff.

Digitize and crawfish pies! Scan and boudin!

We might just try to set up a digitization hub in every #Louisiana parish if only for an excuse to experience the food in every parish. Yet another reason to say thanks to @LSUALibrary and @LYRASIS 🤤

[LSU @LSU]

A Mardi Gras scrapbook originally put together in the 1800s is being restored by @LSUlibraries to preserve part of Louisiana’s cultural heritage. 💜💛💚

[Louisiana Digital Library @LouisianaDigLib]

@CaroOkay @ess_ell_zee @LSUAlexandria @LSUALibrary @LYRASIS We're going back in a month for a digitization week! We can't wait to share what we build with our community partners!

[Louisiana Digital Library @LouisianaDigLib]

Equipment is set up for a new digitization hub @LSUAlexandria! Michelle at @LSUALibrary said it best: "If we can digitize papers from small and community-based groups we can better tell our whole history—Louisiana’s history." Thanks @LYRASIS for the support!

So excited for the partnership possibilities this opens! #culturalHeritage #communityDigitization #digitalLibraries

It's the season of nutcrackers and elveseses on shelveseses. If it's all the same to you, we'd prefer all of our friends in the Edith Dabney Doll Collection to remain quiet and still in their archival storage boxes...https://t.co/f4zF4RZ7h2

[Journal of Critical Digital Librarianship @Critical_DigLib]
