Digitize and crawfish pies! Scan and boudin! We might just try to set up a digitization hub in every #Louisiana parish if only for an excuse to experience the food in every parish. Yet another reason to say thanks to @LSUALibrary and @LYRASIS 🤤

Equipment is set up for a new digitization hub @LSUAlexandria! Michelle at @LSUALibrary said it best: "If we can digitize papers from small and community-based groups we can better tell our whole history—Louisiana’s history." Thanks @LYRASIS for the support!
