The Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation, and Tourism's Division of Archaeology and Division of Historic Preservation are very active in heritage education. The Division of Historic Preservation created a heritage education program in 1989, focusing on historic architecture, buildings, and sites. Statewide curriculum has been developed, and parish-local curriculums will soon be in development. The Division of Archaeology also has a library of materials relating to heritage education and archaeological studies for students and teachers. For more information, contact:
