INTRODUCTION
Since 1519, when the Spanish explorer Alonso Alverez de Pineda led an
expedition along the northern shores of the Gulf of Mexico and discovered
the mouth of the mighty Mississippi, Spanish culture has influenced Louisiana.
The Spanish-language manuscript resources in the Louisiana and Lower Mississippi
Valley Collections (LLMVC) at LSU touch upon all these sources of Spanish
cultural influence. This guide to these resources includes descriptions
of the papers of early colonists, Spanish-speaking people and free people
of color in the nineteenth century, and residents of cities and towns like
New Orleans and Natchitoches. The documents it describes came from farmers
and merchants, writers and artists, women and men, the famous and the
anonymous.
Collections in this guide are listed alphabetically, with a chronological
index after the alphabetical listing. Brief descriptions include references
to sources for additional information--either the LSU Libraries' catalog,
which is accessible through the Internet, or the manuscript card catalog
in the Special Collections reading room of Hill Memorial Library. Still
additional information on some of these collections can be found in detailed
finding aids in the reading room. Increasingly, electronic
copies of these finding aids can be found on the World Wide Web site
for Special Collections, where you can also find information about using
the collections, searching the online catalog remotely, and asking
us questions.
