This month we're spotlighting the Tulane University Digital Library, aka TUDL. Here you can find a tremendous wealth of archival materials that have been photographed, digitized, and made available for viewing online. As you can see from the image on the right, you'll find materials from Amistad Research Center, the Hogan Jazz Archive, Howard-Tilton, Louisiana Research Collection, Matas Health Sciences Library, the Latin American Library, University Archives, and even WTUL! That's a lot of stuff.
WTUL's Vox Humana, for example, is serial publication that includes reviews of WTUL shows, new recording releases, interviews with local musicians, and more. All in all a fantastic resource for studies in local music. All in all a fantastic source for information about local music from the 80's, 90's and now.
The Sheet Music Collection, which includes hundreds of digitized pieces of music, is just a sampling of the thousands of pieces of music you'll find in the Hogan Jazz Archive.
The Library Speaker Series collection includes the archived video from the Music From the Library Speaker Series. The only place to find it. In short, TUDL is a fantastic place to find archival resources for Louisiana research. Remember! Much of what you see in TUDL is just a representative sampling of much larger physical collections. So while you might an aweful lot in TUDL, you may also want to check out the repositories as well to see what other treasures you can find.
