The mission of the Community History Collection is to collect, manage, preserve, and provide access to, items that represent significant historical actions of local governments, businesses, residents and institutions of the communities of Pride and Chaneyville and the immediate surrounding area.  These items include but are not limited to photographs, manuscripts, documents, periodical publications, audiotapes and memorabilia.

 It is our goal to accurately represent the history of the Pride-Chaneyville area without overlapping other long-established archival collections in East Baton Rouge Parish.
