Vintage Photos
Sought by LSU Health Sciences Center
I am Judy LaBorde and I thought it might be wise to explain a little bit about our project. It's a website called "Hereditary Healing." The purpose is to provide information about genetics in Louisiana to "regular folks," primarily Moms and Dads who have a genetic disorder in their families. We first thought about doing this website as a result of doing the public symposium called "Genetics of the Acadian People" that was part of the 1999 Congres Mondial Acadien. We could see that people had questions that needed answering with accurate information (there's so much misinformation about there.) So, where we are right now is a draft of what this might look like. Please keep in mind this is just a first draft. http://www.test.medschool.lsuhsc.edu/hereditaryhealing2/default.html We would very much like to include some vintage, old time photos of life in Acadiana, especially photos of families. These would be photos that tell the story of the people, of the hard life they lived and their great spirit. If you can think of anyone I can contact about this, I would be so grateful.
