Opelousas and Attakapas District Brand Books Available on the Louisiana Digital Library

The Opelousas and Attakapas District Brand Books, Collection 144 from the University Archives and Acadiana Manuscripts Collection, are now available on the Louisiana Digital Library.

Donated by Mrs. Gradney Cochran, these are presumably the oldest cattle brand books in the United States. Brand registrations include Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary, and other parishes of south Louisiana.

The Collection is divided into two volumes: 1739-1888 and 1888-1944.

Open Access JSTOR Resources Available

The library has access to expanded resources provided by JSTOR in response to the COVID-19 crisis. These resources include a wide range of journals and primary sources and eBook titles. Access to the materials will be available for various lengths, but all users are welcome to explore the collections and make use of these resources for their research and study. A ULID login is required to access the collections and materials listed.

Open Resources Related to COVID Expired

For the past few months, we has been pleased to provide access to resources made open by database providers in response to the COVID health crisis.

Now that most of those resources have reached their expiration date, we will be removing the Open Resources and changing it back to host only ongoing trials of potential new databases or resources.

Should more resources be offered in the future, we will make sure to post them so that students, faculty, and researchers can make use of the best resources available.
