September 14, 2005: How to Survive a Flooded Library in Hawaii
University of Hawaii: "Less than a year after Manoa's Halloween flood ripped through Hamilton Library, treasures from the collection are now on display at an unusual exhibit titled "Making Connections."
The clean-up from the flooding was a daunting task. But little by little, piece by piece, the work continued. Much of the detail work was done on the fifth floor of Hamilton Library on the UH Manoa campus. Now, nearly 400 treasures, many of them recovered from the flood-ravaged lower floors, have been prepared for display at the UH Art Gallery."
