History edit

The origin of North Louisiana History parallels the history of the NLHA itself, which was organized in 1952 at Methodist-affiliated Centenary College in Shreveport.[3]

The NLHA founding members included Mrs. D. H. Perkins and Dr. A. W. Shaw. The organization awards the Overdyke Awards for its best published research paper in memory of W. Darrell Overdyke, a Centenary College history professor.[4] With time, the associational publications became more formal, and the NLHA became a non-profit organization. The NLHA seeks to collect and preserve historical material about North Louisiana and under editorial review considers articles for publication from professional historians, lay historians, and students.[5] According to the historian B. H. Gilley (1927-2017), formerly of the Louisiana Tech University faculty, "a wealth of research has been written and preserved in [the NLHA] publications".[6]

North Louisiana Historical Association bulletin edit

A bulletin was edited from 1956 to 1958 by J. A. Manry (1903–1993).[3][7][8] Manry was a journalist, regional scholar, and an historian.[9] Other names for the Bulletin that might be found in citations are:

Today edit

The publication is currently edited by Kathleen Smith, an English professor at Louisiana State University in Shreveport. The printing press for the journal is named in honor of the late Louisiana Tech professor and regional historian John Ardis Cawthon.

The journal accepts articles for possible publication which focus on any part of Louisiana north of and including Alexandria.[21] An index of articles published between 1970 and 2005 is available online.[22]

Louisiana State University in Shreveport (LSUS) supports the journal with office space and a dedicated library collection as part of the LSUS Archives and Special Collections at the Noel Memorial Library, including an online list of journal articles.[23] As of 1970, and still today, Centenary College holds an archive of historical NLHA material.[24][25] Starting in 1970, articles published in the journal have been abstracted and cited in America: History and Life, Historical Abstracts.[1][16]
