[Preservenw] Katrina Recovery

[Gary Menges]

Here's a couple of items regarding recovery efforts for cultural 
institutions in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Gary

>From the Louisiana State Librarian:

I am pleased to announce that I just found out that New Orleans Public's 
archives have NOT been lost.  The camera took pics at a strange angle to 
give the appearance that the first floor was flooded but we just received 
word that it is not.  I am so happy I am in tears.  So many important 
historical documents were stored here...Munters? is working to remove them 
and get them out of the city.  This is a great day to know they have been 
spared.
