Preservation Houston and Operation Photo Rescue teamed up to help Houstonians whose family photos were damaged during Hurricane Harvey with a copy run Dec. 9 and 10.
Volunteers sorted, measured and photographed the damaged photos, which will be sent to OPR volunteers around the world for digital restoration. The result: People who thought their memories had been lost will get restored new prints of their treasured photos.
We hope this finds you safe and dry. Preservation Houston’s staff is in the office on a limited basis in Harvey's aftermath, but we are working for you.
Our city is facing significant burdens in recovering from the unprecedented flooding brought by Harvey, and our historic neighborhoods will have their own unique challenges. Preservation Houston will be here to provide professional advice and accurate, timely information about the resources available for the owners of flood-damaged historic properties.
