Speaking of hurricanes…Hurricane Digital Memory Bank

The Hurricane Digital Memory Bank: Preserving the Stories of Katrina, Rita, and Wilma. Anyone can contribute photos, text, audio, video. It’s not strictly oral history, but can include it. It is a digital repository that anyone can contribute to.
