Archiving Disasters: The Hurricane Digital Memory Bank

Launched in November 2005 by a team led by late UNO History Professor Michael Mizell-Nelson, the Hurricane Digital Memory Bank captured the stories of survivors and witnesses to Katrina. Mary (Molly) Niall Mitchell, Director, of the UNO Midlo Center for New Orleans Studies, will discuss the creation, content, and legacy of the HDMB, and its use in 20th anniversary commemorations.


Programs are held on the 2nd Thursday of each month at UNO’s Homer L. Hitt Alumni Center, 2000 Lakeshore Drive, New Orleans. We begin at 9:30 with coffee and pastry. The presentation begins at 10:00. Annual membership is $25 per person, $30 per couple/double or a $5 donation for an event. For more information, visit http://www.learningbeforelunch.com
