This collection contains the writings of Alton Broussard. The first volume is the entire "Lafayette Guide" newspaper. The two scrapbooks contain his articles from other newspapers, such as the "Daily Advertiser." The list of “Points of Interests in the 'Lafayette Guide'” were compiled by Sam Broussard.

Alton Broussard’s children, Mary Perrin, Sam, and Alton “Skip” II, and his son-in-law, Warren Perrin, donated this collection.
