As with many states across the country, Louisiana remains strongly committed to creating and maintaining a digital database that accurately reflects their culture and history. They have done a fine job, and the Frank-Bertacci Collection is a real treat, particularly for students of the history of New Orleans and its transformation in the twentieth century. This photograph collection includes work from both the Charles L. Frank Photographers Studio, and its subsequent work under the direction of Albert Bertacci. Through the online archive of over 2000 photographs, visitors will be treated to views of 1960s subdivisions, mansions in the French Quarter, and the construction of the Louisiana Superdome. Visitors can perform basic keyword searches across various fields, including title, subject, date, among others. For visitors seeking a bit more direction in their searching, there is also a subject list offered here for their use.
