    Disasters: the Stories We Share
    (NDSU Libraries, 2021) Caro, Susanne; Chiewphasa, Ben; Kirk, Jennifer
    How do community-based and media-based narratives of disaster differ and how do these presentations affect communities and civic response? To answer this question, our project encourages and supports communities in sharing their collective memory. This is accomplished through creating a customizable traveling exhibit, providing the additional opportunity to build a larger narrative of experiences across the country. Primary Team: Susanne Caro, NDSU Libraries; Jen Kirk, Utah State University Libraries; Ben Chiewphasa, Columbia University. University of Montana, Missoula: Tobin Shearer, Historian, African-American Studies; Erin Baucom, Digital Archivist; Natalie Bond, Government Information Librarian. Utah State University: Jen Kirk,* Government Information Librarian; Daniel Davis, exhibit design, photographs curator; Blair Larsen, Geoscience Education, natural disasters; Shay Larsen, Graphic Designer. North Dakota State University: Susanne Caro, Government Information Librarian; Chelsea Olmsted, Historian; Sarah Kirkpatrick, Emergency Management. Minnesota State U. Moorhead: Trista Raezer-Stursa, Archivist. Columbia University, NY: Ben Chiewphasa*, Social Sciences and Policy Librarian; Emily Schmidt, Journalism and Government Information Librarian; Kae Bara Kratcha, Social Work and Professional Studies Librarian.

    Staying Above Water
    (NDSU Libraries, 2020) Caro, Susanne; Raezer-Stursa, Trista; Olmsted, Chelsea
    For over 100 years, Red River floods defined the cities and people who experienced the rising waters – not only due to the destruction, but the feelings and relationships developed during a time of restoration. Some areas may still show the wear and tear of the flood, but nearby restaurants, shops, and other small businesses are alive and bustling. The images in the exhibit show a community with some scars, but one that continued to thrive. The subject of floods was chosen for the Fargo-Moorhead portion of the traveling exhibit and was a collaboration between Trista Raezer-Stursa, University Archivist, Minnesota State University Moorhead; Chelsea Olmsted, Legacy of the Lakes Museum, Alexandria, Minnesota; and Susanne Caro, Government Information Librarian, North Dakota State University Libraries.
