Event Details

The Friends of Buncombe County Special Collections have launched a new community memory project in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, “Come Hell or High Water." 

This project is intended to offer pathways for community reflection, healing, and long-term development of community memory not afforded victims of past disasters. Project components include a digital “memory bank” for community contributions of photos, stories, and more; collecting oral histories; and supporting historically-informed creative responses to Helene’s impact.

Join to learn how you can get involved as a volunteer by contributing to oral history collecting, digital portal administration, research, and more.

(If you are unable to join the meeting on Friday, a make-up session will be held on Saturday, February 1 from 11am-noon in the same location. We highly encourage you to come Friday if you can, but we’ll catch you up on Saturday if you can’t.)
