 Monographs  

The Jefferson Historical Series Monographs have been published by the Jefferson Parish Historical Commission since 1977.  The Commission is a body of individuals appointed by the Jefferson Parish Council.  Those individuals also serve on the Board of Directors of the Jefferson Historical Society.  All monographs are available for review at all Jefferson Parish public libraries.  Monographs are available free at the time of their publication to members in good standing of the Jefferson Historical Society.

The monographs presented here are available for purchase.  Supplies of some of the monographs are quite limited, however.  To order one or more of these, you may download an order form here.  To download the form, you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader, which you may download free here.
