Other Resources

A number of Internet sites contain information on the German community in New Orleans and Louisiana. Some examples are listed below. Please note that the Historic New Orleans Collection cannot certify the accuracy of these sites, and users should check information obtained against reliable published authorities. 

  • The German Studies Association is an international association of scholars in all fields of German Studies. Its interests span the period from early times to the present Federal Republic of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. 
  • LSU Libraries Special Collections has put together a guide to German Language Manuscript Resources in the Louisiana and Lower Mississippi Valley Collection. These materials range in date from 1776 to 1979 and contain descriptions of aspects of the Civil War, plantation life, immigration experiences, business practices, travel accounts, the Nazi regime, and many other subjects. 
  • Incorporated in 1928, the Deutsches Haus was formed as a benevolent and social organization which evolved from the Deutsche Gesellschaft von New Orleans and several other groups. The organization is still very active in New Orleans.
