First established by Disaster Research Center co-founder Enrico Quarantelli, the E. L. Quarantelli Resource Collection is comprised of archival holdings, published material, and disaster-related objects and artifacts. This exhibition features objects collected by the faculty, staff, and students at UD’s Disaster Research Center (DRC), over 60 years of post-disaster field research. The exhibition aims to show the range of primary source objects in DRC’s collection. It was curated to coincide with the workshop Climate Change and Catastrophe: Resources for the Study of Disaster, which will take place at Morris Library in September 2022.
