INDEX TO THE ETCHES OF EBONY LOUISIANA CALENDARS

Since 1983 Norman R. Smith has been compiling and publishing the annual Etches in Ebony Louisiana calendar. Each calendar features a different African American Louisianian each month, generally with a portrait and biographical sketch of each individual. In order to make this important resource more accessible to students and other researchers we have created an index to the names appearing in the annual calendars. That index appears below.

The Etches of Ebony Louisiana calendar is published by:

Forget-Me-Knots, Inc.
Post Office Box 7332
New Orleans, LA 70186
The Index to the Etches of Ebony Louisiana Calendars contains three sections. The first section includes an alphabetical listing by name followed by the month and year in each calendar; the second section is organized by field of endeavor and the names are listed alphabeticaly under each field, with the month and year following each name; and the third section lists buildings, institutions, and organizations. The Etches of Ebony Louisiana calendars are under the 902 E83 year call number and are always kept in the stack area behind the Louisiana Division Reference desk. Some of the branches also have copies of the calendars in their collections.
Note: The 1983 calendar has pictures and brief descriptions but does not have full biographies.
The calendar was not published in 1997.
