The Louisiana Division's extensive Carnival Collection includes printed materials, float and costume designs, krewe favors, and other memorabilia generated by most of the active and historical Carnival organizations from the 1860s to the present. Many of the items in the collection have come to us over the years through donations. We continue to depend on such gifts from krewe members and their guests. If you would like to donate materials for the Carnival Collection please call 596-2610 or send e-mail at archivist@neworleanspubliclibrary.org.

This inventory includes items only from the five oldest carnival krewes represented in the Carnival Collection. For information on items in the many other krewes that make up the collection, contact the Archivist at the email listed above.
