The Historic New Orleans Collection is a museum, research center and publisher dedicated to the study and preservation of the history and culture of New Orleans and the Gulf South. The institution was founded in 1966 by General and Mrs. L. Kemper Williams. Longtime New Orleans residents and avid collectors, the Williams’ established the organization to keep their collections intact and available to the public. In the 40-plus years since its inception, The Collection has augmented its holdings and physical properties, established ambitious publishing and exhibition schedules, and developed innovative educational programs.
The Collection operates two facilities in the French Quarter. The principal gallery, guided tours and museum shop
are located in a complex of historical French Quarter buildings at 533 Royal Street. The Williams Research Center, at 410 Chartres Street, opened in 1996 and houses the archive, library, reading room and additional exhibition space. The Collection’s holdings comprise some 35,000 library items, more than two miles of documents and manuscripts, and approximately 350,000 photographs, prints, drawings, paintings and other artifacts.

The Young Leadership Council (YLC), a non-profit, 
non-partisan civic organization created to develop leadership through community projects, is the oldest young professional organization in the country. Since it began in 1986, the YLC, with more than 1,300 member-volunteers, has developed and implemented a large number of projects throughout the greater New Orleans area that have had lasting positive effects on the community and the economy.
A few the YLC’s projects include raising money to add lights to the Crescent City Connection, establishing the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation, starting the New Orleans: Proud to Call It Home campaign and coordinating the Wednesday at the Square spring concert series. Past YLC member-volunteers have become some of the most influential leaders in the City who attribute their leadership capabilities in part to their previous work with the organization.

The Louisiana State Museum has rightly been described
as “Louisiana’s Louvre.” Founded in 1906 with a mission to collect, preserve, interpret and present the state’s rich history and diverse cultures, the Museum’s collection now totals more than 450,000 artifacts and works of art. These provide an authentic experience of Louisiana to visitors from around the world while enhancing the quality of life for residents.
The “collection” includes a complex of seven historic French Quarter buildings that have become icons of New Orleans – especially the Cabildo and Presbytere on Jackson Square — and a statewide system of museums in Baton Rouge, Thibodaux, and Patterson, La. Meanwhile, a $17-milllion sports museum and Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame is under construction in Natchitoches, La.
The museum drew a record 285,000 visitors last year. Strong attendance is expected to continue with a major new exhibition Living With Hurricanes: Katrina and Beyond opening October 23 with gala celebration on Jackson Square.

Dr. Cathy Rogers in the School of Mass Communication at Loyola University New Orleans needs your help with a research project about communicators’ pro bono work — whether their pro bono work has changed since Hurricane Katrina, what influences decisions to accept, decline, or initiate pro bono work and what kind of work is offered on a pro bono basis.
