Das Foto zeigt Johnstown, Pennsylvania, nach der Überschwemmung. Ein Haus liegt auf der Seite in einem Trümmerhaufen, ein riesiger Baumstamm ragt durch ein Fenster; ein Mann steht vor dem umgestürzten Haus / Barker, George, 1844-1894, Fotograf. 1889. Online

Das Primärquellen-Set für Pädagogen der Library of Congress, Natural Disasters, enthält 18 Artefakte, darunter Bilder, Karten, Filme, Aufnahmen, Noten und Zeitungsartikel, die eine Vielzahl von Naturkatastrophen dokumentieren (via blogs.loc.gov):

“There is a film that simulates the aftermath of the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 that led to fires throughout the city. There is also an iconic image from the Johnstown flood of 1889 and an aerial map of Chicago just after the fire of 1871. The set includes a film of the town of Galveston, Texas, after the hurricane in 1900, known to date as the deadliest natural disaster in the United States, killing over 8,000 people. This set also features a stirring photograph of the dust bowl.

These natural disaster primary sources can be used in many classrooms as an entry point to impactful historical events, climate science, or even as an opportunity to discuss community response and involvement.”
