Paul Percy Viosca Jr. was born in New Orleans on June 24, 1892. Viosca attended Tulane University, where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in 1913 and a Master of Science degree in 1915. He taught at Tulane as a student assistant and an instructor before leaving in 1916 to set up the Southern Biological Supply Company, which supplied specimens of crawfish and other aquatic life for research and commercial use, as well as advising industry. While he remained president of his company and headed its research department, Viosca also became one of the country's first free-lance biologists. With his death from cancer on August 27, 1961, Louisiana lost its pre-eminent naturalist.

While employed by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, Percy Viosca documented the coastal Louisiana landscape between 1921 and 1932. He traveled the state for his work that included mosquito control; riparian and marshland studies; flood control; taxonomic work with native Louisiana irises, newts, and snakes; culture of crawfish; and environmental impact of oil refinery practices. The images in this collection document locations on or near the Louisiana coast and a few sites inland. All images refer to water quality, water control, or environmental conditions affecting water quality.
