Etches of Ebony Louisiana

Annual Calendars

From 1983-2004 Norman R. Smith compiled and published the annual Etches of Ebony Louisiana calendar. Each calendar features a different African American Louisianian each month, generally with a portrait and biographical sketch of each individual. In order to make this important resource more accessible to students and other researchers we have created an index to the names appearing in the annual calendars. That index appears below.

The Etches of Ebony Louisiana calendar was published by:

Forget-Me-Knots, Inc.
Post Office Box 7332
New Orleans, LA 70186

Researchers should note:

The 1983 calendar has pictures and brief descriptions but does not have full biographies.
The calendar was not published in 1997.
We do not have copies of the 2002 or 2003 calendars.
The 2004 calendar has not been indexed.

The City Archives & Special Collections has a near complete run of Etches of Ebony Louisiana available to researchers by appointment.
