Ascension Parish Library is launching a new ongoing project entitled A Photographic History of Ascension Parish.

Join us at the library to learn more about this project and for a sneak peek at some of the historic documents we have already collected. Speakers will include program scholar Dr. Edward Benoit, coordinator of the archival studies and cultural heritage resource management programs at LSU, and local historian Ira Babin. This event can be attended either in person at our Gonzales location or virtually on Zoom. Registration required. Space may be limited. Masks are recommended.
