An idea for a digital collection

As I was writing my last post and remembering the places I visited a few weeks ago, I had an idea. While we were in Houston we traveled to Galveston, as I had never been there and my boyfriend hasn’t been there for a few years. He wanted to see the after effects of the hurricane, and I wanted to see the ocean. As we drove around Galveston looking at the destruction my boyfriend would tell me how things used to be. Now fast forward to today…I recalled that conversation and thought what a great idea for a digital collection to have a collection before and after photos of Galveston. This would serve multiple purposes. To show the world the destruction of the hurricane and how things are different, but also to show how even after the destruction how the people are cleaning up and rebuilding. In a way having before and after would also preserve images of things that may never be the same. I think this would be a great idea for not only Galveston, but also other places were devastation occurs. Just an idea, I would be interested in your thoughts.
