Search Tips

You can search in Keywords using a word, name, or short phrase. You may limit your search by also selecting Culture, Region and/or Categories. Abstracts are provided to help your search. You can browse all entries by leaving everything blank and clicking the Search button, but the list will be over 900 items. The search results display the author(s), year of publication, title, abstract, and whether the page includes photos, audio, or video.

Keywords should be singular items rather than plural (e.g., "house" rather than "houses").

Regions include 1) North Louisiana (and the Florida Parishes), 2) South Louisiana, and 3) New Orleans. If you are looking for a subregion, such as Atchafalaya, search in keywords using one word (e.g. “Atchafalaya” rather than “Atchafalaya Basin”).

Categories include Children/Family Folklore, Crafts, Dance, Essays for Students, Folklore and Literature, Foodways, General Information, Music Traditions, New Populations (Immigrants), Occupational Traditions, Oral Traditions, Public Folklore/Documentation Tools, and Resource Pages, Ritual Traditions.

Cultures mentioned in the article are listed in the culture field. Select from the list.
