LSUHSC Hurricane Katrina Archive: Oral Histories

LSUHSC Hurricane Katrina Archive: Oral Histories

 

The LSU Health New Orleans Hurricane Katrina Oral History Collection is a collection of recorded interviews (accompanied with transcriptions) with people who worked at LSU Health New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina made landfall on August 29, 2005. The interviews began in May 2025 and are ongoing.

This project is a part of the LSUHSC Hurricane Katrina Archive created in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina’s landfall.

A link to the curatorial statement for this collection can be found in the sidebar of this page.

This collection is in process and will grow to include more interviews. If you were employed by LSUHSC-NO during the time of this event and would like to be contacted for an interview, please email DigitalScholar@lsuhsc.edu.

Every effort has been made to make the accompanying interview transcription PDFs as accessible as possible. Please email DigitalScholar@lsuhsc.edu if you encounter any issues.
