Building plans must be requested in advance, and are available to view by appointment in the City Archives. Be sure to include all identifying information when making your request. Contact us at Ask An Archivist to request an appointment.

Requesting Copies
Original building plans must be copied off site, and only with an approved vendor that follows the Archives’ guidelines. There is a $50.00 handling fee payable to New Orleans Public Library, in addition to the vendor’s fee, and a digital copy must be provided to the Archives. Plans that exist on microfilm can be copied by patrons in house for free.
