Information for state agencies and institutions.
Louisiana agencies and institutions are required by LRS 25:124 and LAC 25:VII:5 to furnish the Recorder of Documents with copies of public documents to meet the needs of the Public Document Depository Program (PDDP), which distributes them to public and academic libraries across the state. The primary purpose of the depository program is to provide the people of Louisiana with access to state publications; the secondary purpose is to create and preserve a complete, centralized, and organized historical record of Louisiana via its state documents.
The success of the Louisiana PDDP depends on the conscientious efforts of those state employees who perform the duties as liaison between their agencies and the depository program.
