"Pierre Clement Laussat's papers, used by scholars at the Collection since 1975, along with the correspondence of Claude Perrin Victor, invite the full scrutiny of history. They preserve the record of an exceptional period, when the muddy little village of New Orleans - and the vast territory drained by its great river - was caught up in the international events that shaped the United States and its world."
