Andy -
They had terrible floods in Columbia, SC, about a year ago. My daughter volunteered to help people restore their photos from family albums that had been under water. What they did was wash them in clean water and hang them on lines to dry, then press them in books. It wasn't perfect, but the people were so glad to have their family photos back! As a prevention, I would recommend that everybody convert their photos to digital and take the hard drives with them!!

I was thinking about the many photographs that were and are being damaged by floodwaters in Texas.
Recovering and saving them will be very difficult I imagine. I wonder if the items are possibly salvageable one thing to do early on is to make a copy of them as soon as they are found and prior to any attempt at saving/restoring them. What steps might people take to try to save their photographic “heritage”?
