Memorial Day Library Hours

We are closed on Monday, May 25 in observance of Memorial Day.

Special Collection's LGBTQ+ Archive collections will be presented at tomorrow’s Acadiana Pride Festival in the History Department’s “Museum on the Move.”

We hold a total of six LGBTQ+ collections and manuscripts, with our most prominent being the Acadiana Pride and Mardi Gras Collections.

Acadiana Pride was formed in 2014, with the collection containing photographs (physical and digital) of the festival, playbills of theater pieces produced through the festival, and various memorabilia. The Mardi Gras collection contains artifacts and materials of LGBTQ+ Mardi Gras organizations such as the Krewes of Armeinius, Petronius, and Apollo.
