Photographs of earthquake damage sought

The Center for Book Conservation in Arles (Southern France) is
looking for photographs (preferably in the public domain) from
libraries, archives or museum which encountered problems and/or
damage following weak earthquakes or tremors, but without major
damage to the buildings (eg total destruction).  The Center is
planning to create informational posters and panels for elected
officials and professionals in the Provence region where minor
earthquakes are frequent.  Luckily no serious earthquakes have
occurred for the last hundred years, but the disaster planning
commissions have, as a result, pretty much ignored the problem.  The
posters would be created in the context of the European Heritage
Disaster Planning program called Noe.
