Kofile

Nearly 20 years after Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans remains a powerful reminder of why preserving public records matters.

The devastating loss and damage to archives across the region, including records in Orleans Parish, helped inspire one of Kofile’s most innovative preservation solutions: the Disaster Safe Binder® (DSB).

Designed to help protect records from water, fire, humidity, pollutants, UV exposure, and other environmental threats, the DSB embodies an important lesson: preserving history requires preparation before disaster strikes.

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, we're reflecting on the role of resilience, innovation, and stewardship in protecting the records that tell our nation’s story.
