Louisiana Connecting to Collections Survey: LSU Shreveport Archives and Special Collections announces completion of a statewide survey of Louisiana cultural heritage institutions regarding the preservation status of their historical materials. The survey was conducted by the Louisiana Libraries, Archives, and Museums Preservation Project (LA LAMPP) through a federal grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services in 2010 for the purpose of providing training and education in preservation planning statewide. The survey was developed by an advisory committee comprising representatives from archives, libraries, and museums across Louisiana and was distributed to 348 institutions.
