That's a great resource, Irene.

Thinking of the victims of 'Sandy' in particular right now, how awful to lose precious photos to the floodwater, in addition to everything else.

I have registered as if I can I would like to help a little.

Caroline, I must admit I havent done much for them lately but they are very nice people there and give a lot of not only their time but money and resources as well.

Irene

I'm the same.  Things took off with my family history stuff and I didn't have the time to do both.  I always meant to go back to the site, but never got around to it.   Anyway, couldn't find my original registration details, so I've re registered with them and if I can help, then I'm more than happy to lend a hand.

I've also registered with them.  If there's anything I can do to help, I most certainly will.

Like her I have had the pleasure of doing restores from this site

Reading the "feedback" from some of the "customers" can bring a lump to your throat

This was posted on the OPR site so if you guys looking in know of anyone who needs help please spread the word



Money and number of volunteers will be the key to who we will be able to help. At the present we are working to help those in the South hit by Hurricane Irene. Hopefully we will be able also to help those hit by Hurricane Sandy. On the latter, because of the sheer size the storm covered;  I'm hoping that some of our volunteers in those state might me able to organize a local run. OPR is able to help directly those who contact us for help and are able to get copies (around 20) to us of their damage photos per our specifications and a signed release form. By doing that they don't have to wait on us coming there.
