Islandora advanced search

The mission of the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans (LSUHSCNO) Libraries is to provide access to digitized and born-digital material that is unique to Louisiana history and culture for scholars, researchers, and the public. The items that are digitized are housed at the John P. Isché Library and Dental Library of LSUHSCNO. Material in the collection ranges from the 18th century to the 21st century and includes manuscripts about yellow fever, newsletters from a leprosarium, photographs from a World War 2 general hospital, illustrations from a medical artist, and much more.

The Digitization Committee is responsible for the selection and maintenance of digital collections. The material chosen is based upon the missions of both LSUHSCNO and the Louisiana Digital Consortium (LDC) to strengthen the digital presence of the culture and history of Louisiana and create awareness of Louisiana’s role in medical education and impact throughout the world. Material selected is also based on its value, condition, copyright information, and ethics.
