Louisiana Historical Association Explained

Louisiana Historical Association should not be confused with Louisiana Historical Society.

The Louisiana Historical Association is an organization established in 1889 in Louisiana to collect and preserve the history of Louisiana and its archives.^{[1] [2]}

Their journal, the Louisiana History: The Journal of the Louisiana Historical Association has been published since 1960.^[4]
