As the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina draws near, The Historic New Orleans Collection will present a new exhibition charting the institution’s efforts to document the storm, its aftermath and the region’s recovery. Faced with the work of chronicling both unprecedented devastation and the city’s recovery, The Collection implemented two long-term institutional initiatives in early October 2005: an extensive oral history program focused on recording the experiences of first responders and a photography project intended to document the scale of the chaos throughout the city left in Katrina’s wake. Selections from these projects form the core of Katrina + 5: Documenting Disaster. Other items on exhibit include historical maps and materials exploring the history of tidal flooding and storm surge in New Orleans over the course of the past two centuries and a multimedia station featuring an interactive timeline and related resources. Katrina + 5 serves as a reminder of the history made since August 29, 2005, and The Collection’s ongoing efforts to record it.

In collaboration with Tulane's Middle American Research Institute (MARI) and Latin American Library (LAL), the exhibition offers a special glimpse of the Tulane archive featuring 150 objects from Pepper's personal Native American art collection as well as 140 photographic images. Pepper, a museum ethnologist and scholar, used textiles, pottery, baskets, and other Pueblo and Navajo paraphernalia as visual complements to his lectures. Many of the images and the objects in Ancestors and Descendants have never been published or seen by the general public since 1924.
