Ann @ History Center
For decades, many people in Bossier Parish dreamed of having a repository in which to preserve and exhibit documents and artifacts relating to the history of the parish. This dream became a reality on November 18, 1995, when citizens approved the renewal of the library tax. The Historical Center opened on January 24, 1999.
To “preserve the history of Bossier Parish for the people of Bossier parish” is the mission of the Bossier Parish Library Historical Center. This mission statement dictates that we acquire, collect, arrange, catalog, preserve, maintain and store items of lasting value concerning parish history and culture.
Here are some ways in which we fulfill our mission:
- We participate with other area cultural organizations to present interesting programs and exhibits to the community.
- We provide research and reference services.
- Archaeology Week is celebrated annually with a public program.
Our collection includes genealogical and historical information, thousands of photographs and images and historical objects, all with ties to Bossier Parish.
I am Ann Middleton. As director of the Bossier Parish Library Historical Center, I extend to you a special invitation to visit the center, enjoy the exhibits, peruse the archives, search our database and take pride in what is uniquely Bossier.
Sincerely,
Ann Middleton (

Director, Bossier Parish Library Historical Center
