Katrina Web Archive

For anyone doing research on Katrina, here are some resources. The Internet Archive and individual contributors produced a comprehensive list of Web sites to create a historical record of the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina and the massive relief effort which followed. The collection contains over 25 million unique pages, all text searchable, from 1,500 sites. The Web archive consists of Web sites indexed between the dates of September 4 and October 17th. Two recent books on Katrina were reviewed in the New York Times yesterday: Hurricane Katrina: New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast by Douglas Brinkley and Breach of Faith: Hurricane Katrina and the Near Death of a Great American City by Jed Horne--both available through Interlibrary Loan.
