The Historic New Orleans Collection

Embracing the past, sustaining the future, The Historic New Orleans Collection  (THNOC) is a museum, research center, and publisher dedicated to preserving the history and culture of New Orleans and the Gulf South. Maintaining its partnership with the Festival as the longtime host for our Tennessee Williams Scholars’ Conference and our Writer’s Craft series, THNOC provides a rich cultural backdrop and tranquil setting in which students of literature can share new ideas and learn from each other.
