Louisiana Newspapers

Search our online catalog to find Louisiana newspapers in the LSU Libraries.  They are available usually only on microfilm, as we keep very few original printed issues.  Microfilm for almost all Louisiana newspapers is kept in Hill Memorial Library.  The only exceptions are major Louisiana newspapers for the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, which are housed in the LSU Library.  Go to room 141 to find these major titles:
