John Magill, Cu- rator and Head of Research Services at the Historic New Orleans Collection, will ex- plain it all-with a unique vis- ual aid-when he presents the next program in our Learning at the Law Library series on Tuesday evening, April 24, in the new Louisiana Supreme Court Museum on the first floor of the court- house. The public is invited to attend this free program. To accompany his lecture Magill will use both slides and the model of the French Quarter as it was in 1915, which was recently presented to the His- toric New Orleans Collection and is temporarily on display in the Supreme Court Histori- cal Society's museum. The illustrated lecture, sponsored by the Friends of the Law Library, will begin at 6 o'clock preceded by light refreshments starting at 5:00. Attendees may also view the exhibits in the Supreme Court Museum prior to the lecture. John Magill is widely-recognized as one of foremost historians of New Orleans and the French Quarter in particular. A native of the city who was brought up in California, he returned to earn both his bachelor's and master's degrees in history at the University of New Orleans. continued on page 2 Model of 1915 French Quarter Displayed in Museum On March 2 a unique attrac- tion, a model of the French Quarter as it was in 1915 was opened for public viewing in the new Louisiana Supreme Court Museum on the first floor of the courthouse. A distinguished delegation of French government officials, including Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres, the Minister of Cul- ture and Media, presented the model to The Historic New Orleans Collection as a gift to the people of New Orleans. At the dedication ceremony Chief Justice Calogero spoke of the influence of France on Louisi- ana law and of the French heri- tage of many of the early jus- tices of the Supreme Court. The model will remain at the court- house until early June when it will be moved to its permanent location at the new addition to the HNOC's Williams Research Center. Also currently open to the public at HNOC's original building at 533 Royal Street is the exhibit 400 Years of French Pres- ence in Louisiana: Treasures from the Bibliothdque Na- tionale De France. A labor of love, the model was constructed over 25 years from 1956 to 1980 by continued on page 2 Volume 5, Issue 1 Spring 2007 The Newsletter of The Law Library of Louisiana
