| This page contains our Archived Oral Histories.
These oral histories cover the time interval between the first announcement
that a hurricane was coming to the time the respondent was interviewed
in January – March 2006. To listen to a file, click on the ID

The listener may notice that sound quality, volume, and clarity vary from one recorded oral history to the next. These recordings have been collected from Hurricane Katrina Community Advisory Group members who were speaking on phone lines that varied in signal strength as well as in background noise. The digital recording system used to capture the oral histories was sensitive to sound level and automatically adjusted recording volume when voice signals were weak. This sometimes resulted in background noise coming through strongly on the recordings. No attempt was made to filter out noises or distortions, as we want listeners to hear the histories exactly as they were told during the interviews. |
