Collecting and Preserving the Stories of Katrina and Rita

The Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media (CHNM) at George Mason University and the University of New Orleans organized the Hurricane Digital Memory Bank (HDMB) in 2005 in partnership with many national and Gulf Coast area organizations and individuals. HDMB was awarded the Award of Merit for Leadership in History, and is the largest free public archive of Katrina and Rita with over 25,000 items in the collection. Read More.

My school ran a donation program for the victims and made a video to send to a school destroyed by hurricane Katrina. I can\'t remember the exact amount that we raised, but it was a substantial amount. We got a video a few weeks later from that school, thanking us for the donation.
