The Society of American Archivists has collected information about funding and resources available to libraries and cultural institutions suffering from recent natural disasters. Current SAA President Tanya Zanish-Belcher has compiled this information in a single blog post. Whether you need financial assistance, conservation advice, disaster recovery information, or disaster planning tools, this listing will get you started in the right direction. Please share it broadly with others in your community.
For those who want to help, please consider a donation to the National Disaster Recovery Fund for Archives.
