Due to the large number of electronic reference questions received daily by LSU Special Collections, our small staff is unable to perform extensive research for patrons over the Internet. Please limit questions to topics represented in our holdings.

Regarding Genealogy: Though a limited number of our sources may be valuable to genealogists, the Bluebonnet Branch of the East Baton Rouge Parish Library is best suited for genealogy research. Contact them at 225-763-2285 or write to Genealogy Section, Bluebonnet Branch, 9200 Bluebonnet Blvd., Baton Rouge, LA 70810.
