In 1976 the New Orleans Public Library received a $330,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to conduct a series of lectures, discussions, exhibits, and other activities examining the culture and history of New Orleans.
The original grant proposal was written in consultation with an Advisory Committee which served the Library for five years. The program was named Jambalaya and from 1977 through 1980 it presented 194 events featuring 284 speakers, panelists, and performers within a framework of twenty-seven individual series.
From the description of Jambalaya program records, 1975-1980. (New Orleans Public Library). WorldCat record id: 17400866
