The role of the CGHRC in accomplishing this mission is to collect, preserve, and make available for research manuscripts and published materials relating primarily to the history and culture of the original boundaries of Natchitoches that was founded in 1714 by French. The Research Center is named after Carmelite “Cammie” Garrett Henry (1871-1948) of Melrose, Louisiana who collected Louisiana documents and books of rare fictional and non-fictional works. Other collections sharing similar strengths include those of James Aswell, the Cloutier Family, Robert DeBlieux, Caroline Dormon, Joe Dellmon, the Egan Family, and the Federal Writers’ Project.
