As the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina draws near, The Historic New Orleans Collection will present a new exhibition charting the institution’s efforts to document the storm, its aftermath and the region’s recovery. Faced with the work of chronicling both unprecedented devastation and the city’s recovery, The Collection implemented two long-term institutional initiatives in early October 2005: an extensive oral history program focused on recording the experiences of first responders and a photography project intended to document the scale of the chaos throughout the city left in Katrina’s wake. Selections from these projects form the core of Katrina + 5: Documenting Disaster. Other items on exhibit include historical maps and materials exploring the history of tidal flooding and storm surge in New Orleans over the course of the past two centuries and a multimedia station featuring an interactive timeline and related resources. Katrina + 5 serves as a reminder of the history made since August 29, 2005, and The Collection’s ongoing efforts to record it.

The Historic New Orleans Collection Presents - Poydras Street Market, 1838–1938

Phone:  (504)523-4662
Once touted in the Daily Picayune as being "the most handsome structure in our city," the Poydras Street Market opened on July 4, 1838. Highly successful, the market later expanded toward the lake with the addition of the iron-constructed Pilié Market in 1867. However, by the turn of the 20th century, the Poydras Market's heyday had come to an end. Families that once embraced an urban lifestyle and obtained their daily necessities from the public market were moving away to newly created neighborhoods and suburbs accessible by recently installed electric streetcar lines. As 1932 drew to a close, the last sections of the Poydras Street Market were demolished, and this open-air complex, which had anchored a community for almost a century, faded into obscurity. Vintage images of the Poydras Market are among items now on display in the Williams Research Center's Reading Room as part of the exhibition Poydras Street Market, 1838–1932.
