Library of Congress “Learning from Katrina” Web Page
In commemoration of the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina’s devastating impact to New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, and in light of the current hurricane season, the Library of Congress announces a website titled “Learning from Katrina,” which provides insights for better responses to record and artifact damage by hurricanes.
On this site, http://www.loc.gov/preserv/emergprep/katrinarespond.html, visitors can hear seven interviews with professional conservators who helped salvage collections affected in August 2005.
