 Collection
Identifier: UAAMC-COLL-0024

Scope and Contents

The South Louisiana Camellia Society existed from 1945 to 1965. Its major activity was an annual show usually held in conjunction with SLI's (now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette) Camellia Pageant. The collection also centers on that event. Long-time society officials were Genevive Billeaud, Secretary and Ira S. Nelson, Show Manager.

There are also documents from two Shreveport nurseries which were involved with importing camellias from abroad between 1935 and 1941.

The collection was donated by the South Louisiana Camellia Society.
