Howard-Tilton Memorial Library

As Tulane University's main library, the Howard-Tilton Memorial Library supports the university's undergraduate and graduate programs in the humanities, social sciences, and science and engineering. It also is a major cultural resource for researchers and scholars from throughout the Louisiana-Gulf Coast region. Its unique collections in areas such as Latin American studies, jazz and New Orleans history often draw researchers from around the globe.

Music and Media Collection

While much of the Music and Media Collection is being restored following flooding related to Hurricane Katrina, a temporary space for the collection is being configured on the 4th floor of the Howard-Tilton Memorial Library. Listening stations and some initial replacement music and media collections will be available. In time, the collection will be stronger than ever before.

William Ransom Hogan Jazz Archive

The jazz archive is a renowned resource for New Orleans jazz research. The collection includes oral histories, recorded music, photographs and film, and sheet music and orchestrations. It also houses files of manuscripts, clippings and bibliographic references.
