The UAF Alaska Film Archives holds many historical films documenting life in Western Alaska. But history takes a back seat to what is happening right now.
In mid-October, Western Alaska was struck by devastating storms including the remnants of Typhoon Halong. These storms brought record-breaking flooding and destruction to many coastal communities.
Hundreds have been displaced as homes and businesses washed away. Many are now sheltering in schools and community centers while recovery efforts continue.
To assist our friends and neighbors, please consider donating to:
the Red Cross of Alaska

the Alaska Community Foundation

Or a trusted organization of your choice.
Thank you. Our hearts are with the communities of Western Alaska as they recover and rebuild.
