North Louisiana History is an academic journal published twice annually in Shreveport, Louisiana by the North Louisiana Historical Association (NLHA). [1] [2]
The origin of North Louisiana History parallels the history of the NLHA itself, which was organized in 1952 at Methodist-affiliated Centenary College in Shreveport. [3]
The NLHA founding members included Mrs. D. H. Perkins and Dr. A. W. Shaw. The organization awards the Overdyke Awards for its best published research paper in memory of W. Darrell Overdyke, a Centenary College history professor. [4] With time, the associational publications became more formal, and the NLHA became a non-profit organization. The NLHA seeks to collect and preserve historical material about North Louisiana and under editorial review considers articles for publication from professional historians, lay historians, and students. [5] According to the historian B. H. Gilley (1927-2017), formerly of the Louisiana Tech University faculty, "a wealth of research has been written and preserved in [the NLHA] publications". [6]
