There is a report on page B-1 of today's Times-Picayune that

"Much of Tulane's Uptown campus was flooded after Hurricane Katrina,
including the basement of Howard-Tilton Memorial Library, where a jazz music
archive is stored."

If this is true, then this collection was moved recently to the basement,
and this would be a very bad situation.

I hope this report is not correct.
