    Nice place to get some work done even if you aren't a student. Very clean. Outlets are also available for your devices.

    3.5 miFrench Quarter

    Came in for a research consultation. Got at least a half dozen ideas but really found something we…read morehad totally missed. Now, to research this ancestor in more depth with this new information. Thank you so much!

    I. WHERE CAN I RESEARCH MY PROPERTY'S HISTORY? A. If the…read moreproperty is in the French Quarter the "HNOC" Historic New Orleans Collection's subsidiary, the Williams Research Center "WRC", has the most complete records. Go online to glean sources: (http://www.hnoc.org/collections/research_subjects.htm) B. If outside the Quarter go to the NO Public Library's property site:(http://www.neworleanspubliclibrary.org/~nopl/house2/intro.htm) II. WHERE CAN I RESEARCH MY CREOLE GENEALOGY? A. NO Public Library's site will give you basic birth and death records. B. WRC has more arcane information: i. Archdiocesan Records of religious rites ii. Civil War soldiers' records iii. French, British, Cuban and Spanish "in-country" directories of emigration (unfortunately you Romans and Prussians were too upheaveled!) iv. Cemetery Plot chronicles and marble photos if available v. Municipal Recorda, etc. III. HNOC IS THE PRIMARY ARCHIVE OF NEW ORLEANS CULTURE A. What you should know: i. WRC library is by appointment (504) 598-7171 ii. It's not a lending library, research only; but you can make copies iii. Go online (hnoc.org) to view the card catalog of all items iv. Holdings are primarily documents. However, it works collegially with local museums and repositories. Ask the WRC Library desk for the location of all pertinent resources.
