The Hurricane Digital Memory Bank uses electronic media to collect, preserve, and present the stories and digital record of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Open source software for archivists and collectors is used in this example to provide a platform to collect and broadcast (sometimes intangible) cultural heritage to create a comprehensive set of records about these two major hurricanes.
