Music Collection

University Libraries, UL Lafayette

Louisiana Folk Roots is honored to include its archive of performance videos, recordings, posters, photos, and memorabilia in the “Cajun and Creole Music Collection” (CCMC). The CCMC consists of over 9,000 items including commercial and non-commercial recordings and other music-related research materials. Formats include both analog and digital media: 78rpm, 45rpm, and LP (33 ⅓) records, 8-track tapes, audio-cassette tapes, CDs, VHS tapes, and DVDs. The expanding collection also contains a vintage recording booth and console, books, periodicals, photographs, artifacts, manuscripts and other archival materials.

On the “Wish List”

Topping the Folk Roots wish list is sponsor funding to digitize the archive films and holdings at high-definition Library quality to preserve and allow online, worldwide access to this rare collection of Cajun & Creole musical genres!
