Repositories

The Cajun and Creole Music Collection repository contains commercial recordings, selected non-commercial recordings, and other music-related research materials of Southwest and parts of Southeast Louisiana.
The Ernest J. Gaines Center repository honors the published works, unpublished manuscripts, gallery proofs, and newspaper clippings of the University's Writer-in-Residence Emeritus.
