This category highlights the culinary history sources housed in New Orleans archives and research libraries. The New Orleans Culinary History Group is based out of the Newcomb College Center for Research on Women, Nadine Vorhoff Library; the research group’s greatest accomplishment to date, the annotated New Orleans Cookbook Bibliography, is a highlight of this online collection. Over the last several years of work, the group’s research work has generated a number of useful finding aids and other materials, all of which are available through the Nadine Vorhoff Library. A recently completed finding aid for materials offered by the Louisiana State Museum, Louisiana Historical Center, is another featured element.
