Shortly after Hurricane Katrina displaced tens of thousands of New Orleans residents, members of the School of Visual Arts in New York and George Mason University ’s Center for History and New Media created the websitewww.DoYouKnowWhatItMeans.org. This collaborative effort strives to capture the untold stories of New Orleans and its people through an accessible digital archive of photographs, videos, family histories, interviews, and other artifacts.
Website developers Charles Traub and Amy Stein, both of the SVA, and Sheila Brennan ofGeorge Mason University will formally present the online archive to The Collection, which will administer the site’s continued development. The presentation and demonstration will begin at 2:00 p.m. in the Boyd Cruise Room of the Williams Research Center , 410 Chartres Street . A reception will immediately follow.
