In 2016, the Department began to collaborate with the Monmouth County Historical Association (MCHA) to create an exhibition marking the fifth anniversary of the Storm. Over the course of a year, the exhibit team partnered with libraries, churches, community centers, local government, and the general public in a crowdsourcing initiative to compile the story. Professor Melissa Ziobro, who served as MCHA\u2019s guest curator for the project, noted at the time, \u201cThis is a unique opportunity to allow the citizens of Monmouth County to create their own living archive of what some have called a \u2018100 year storm\u2019.\u201d MCHA President Linda Bricker concurred, saying, \u201cSandy should not be forgotten after altering the lives of so many people and communities in such a dramatic way. It is a story that will be of great interest to future generations and which should be documented while those impacted can relate personal experiences.\u201d Several Monmouth University students assisted Professor Ziobro in the preparation of the exhibit.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition was open at the MCHA headquarters in Freehold from October 2017- October 2018.<\/p>\n<h2>Photos:<\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 402px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"SandyDamage\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-history-and-anthropology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2018\/06\/SandyStormDamage_20121031_JR_038.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of damage to The Great Hall from Superstorm Sandy\" width=\"402\" height=\"267\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Storm damage on campus.&#8221; Photo courtesy of Monmouth University.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 325px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"SandyMAC1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-history-and-anthropology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2018\/06\/SandyMACShelter_20121102_JR_015.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of MAC in use as storm shelter during Superstorm Sandy\" width=\"325\" height=\"216\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Our Ocean First Bank Center, then known as the MAC, was used as a shelter for many of our displaced neighbors.&#8221; Photo courtesy of Monmouth University<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"aligncenter keepwidth\"><span title=\"temporary space, click here to type\">\u00a0<\/span> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"SandyMAC2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-history-and-anthropology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2018\/06\/SandyMACShelter_20121102_JR_064.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of cots and people staying at the MAC during Superstorm Sandy\" width=\"296\" height=\"197\" \/><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 306px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Remnants of Belmar boardwalk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-history-and-anthropology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2018\/06\/remnants20of20Belmar20boardwalk.jpg\" alt=\"Photo shows remnants of Belmar boardwalk after Superstorm Sandy\" width=\"306\" height=\"230\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Remnants of the Belmar boardwalk post-Sandy.&#8221; Photo courtesy of Jenna Amore.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 302px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Day after Sandy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-history-and-anthropology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2018\/06\/Day-after-Sandy.jpg\" alt=\"Photo shows storm damage at the National Guard Militia Museum of NJ.\" width=\"302\" height=\"227\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Storm damage at the National Guard Militia Museum of NJ.&#8221; Photo courtesy of Joe Bilby.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Springsteen: His Hometown The exhibit \u201cSpringsteen: His Hometown\u201d opened to much fanfare at the Monmouth County Historical Association (MCHA) at 70 Court Street in Freehold in September 2019.
