About Us

Loyola's Special Collections & Archives is part of the Monroe Library of Loyola University New Orleans and emphasizes the importance of collecting original materials related to the university, the city of New Orleans, and specific fields in which Loyola faculty and alumni have excelled or in which Jesuit values have found expression. The collection is especially strong in the following areas: communications and mass media, social justice, performing arts, New Orleans writers, and the archives of Loyola University New Orleans.

Most collections in this database are available for research, but access to some collections may be limited by institutional, legal, or physical access restrictions. Please visit our Plan Your Visit page to read our guidelines and fill out our Researcher Request Form for further assistance.

Additional Important Online Tools

The catalog is only one of three important online tools. Many other resources and research topics are accessed through the main Special Collections & Archives website and our Digital Collections.
