The Historic New Orleans Collection hosts a book release and signing for The Katrina Decade: Images of an Altered City with photographer David G. Spielman and contributing essayists Jack Davis and John H. Lawrence on July 15 at 6pm. In the ten years since Hurricane Katrina’s storm surge overwhelmed New Orleans’s levee system, the catastrophe has lived in the public imagination as a parade of dramatic images. Often overlooked are smaller, more gradual changes.

This event is free and open to the public.
