Lorena Dureau Mexico Scrapbook: Olmec Monuments
The photographs below are from our Lorena Dureau Mexico Scrapbook. These snapshots were taken at the pre-Columbian archeological site La Venta, in Tabasco, Mexico circa 1957-1965.
Dureau, a Loyola graduate with a B.A. in Music, was a popular opera singer in Mexico, a writer, and author of romance novels. This is but one element of a larger collection that is currently being processed that spans her multifaceted life and multiple careers/manifestations. You can access this entire Dureau scrapbook as well as another scrapbook from her time in Mexico through the Lousiana Digital Library.
