Measurable Outcome(s)
Targets were achieved with this project. LCHS received photographs of the Marshall flood of 1957 and the Tracy tornado of 1968 from a few of the interviewees to add to the historical society's collection. Also, the interviewees became more engaged with the historical society because of being asked to be interviewed on either the flood or the tornado.
