Rita is prompting another relocation which may forestall library salvage. Any records which do survive these storms will themselves be historical documents.

FotB library conservator Gary Frost has been mobilized with an AASLH team to assist in the salvage of Mississippi libraries. Stay tuned for our reports as we travel for ten days to assess damage.
