13. Friends of the Cabildo Oral History Tapes
1972 - present
over 567 tapes

The Friends of the Cabildo, the support group for the Louisiana State Museum, has been conducting oral history interviews since 1972. FOC Board member Dorothy Schlesinger has been a major force behind the oral history program since its inception. In 1992 the FOC and the New Orleans Public Library agreed to a transfer of the duplicate user tapes from the Museum's Louisiana Historical Center to the Library's Louisiana Division. 567 tapes were transferred and numerous additions to the collection have been made since 1992. In 1997 Schlesinger and Dorothy Mahan, then Director of the Oral History Program, edited a new directory of the collection. Copies are available in the Louisiana Division. The collection documents the social, economic, cultural and political history of New Orleans and the lives of some of its older citizens and is rich in colorful detail. Among the many women interviewed are Lindy Boggs and Carolyn Kolb.
