Chamber of Commerce Collection
Scope and Content
The collection contains photographs that were used by The Natchitoches Chamber of Commerce to promote Natchitoches, Louisiana and surrounding Natchitoches Parish. The photographs date from the1920s to the1970s. The images document industry, prominent structures and everyday life in the region. Many of the documented structures are no longer standing. Specifically, one can find documentation of churches, stores, bridges, rural scenes, leisure sports, group shots of city officials, construction of the LODA (Louisiana Outdoor Drama Association) amphitheater, Kisatchie Forest, Louisiana State Normal College, aerial views of the city, and aerial views of flooded rural areas.
Unfortunately, a significant amount of the images are undated, unidentified and not credited. It is assumed that freelancing local photographers took the majority of the photographs. A few of the images are credited. These include John C. Guillet Studios, Duncan Studios and Kerr's Studios, all of Natchitoches.
Included within the additions and scrapbooks are annual reports, minutes and other similar materials related to the Chamber's everyday function. Many of these records concern The Natchitoches Tourist Commission, and deal with grants received to help increase tourism.
