Through a combination of crowdsourced materials, scientific data, media coverage, and historical photos, this Buncombe County Special Collections (BCSC) community memory project is building a comprehensive digital archive of Tropical Storm Helene’s impact. BCSC will be bringing the Come Hell or High Water Project to multiple one-year commemorative events and will be open by appointment only from Monday, September 22 through Saturday, September 27.
Members of the public are encouraged to upload photos, videos, written testimonies, and audio files. Content can be uploaded at helenehistory.omeka.net or by sharing your experience in a 3-minute audio message at 828-222-3609.
