The students at the University of Delaware were able to restore hundreds of photos of the family of Ricky and Traci Harris after the images were damaged in the blaze that killed Kenyon, 14, Broderick, 11, and Braylon, 9.
The boys had asked to stay the night because they didn't want their grandmother to be alone on Christmas.
News of the tragedy soon traveled to Michael Emmons, a family friend who is studying preservation studies at the University of Delaware.
Emmons heard that friends of the family had removed family photos from Terry Harris' home, and were trying to save them because they were damaged and wet, the school said in a blog post.
Emmons emailed Debra Hess Norris, the chairperson of the school's art conservation department, and asked if her students may be able to restore some of the photos.
Norris responded within hours, and soon the team got to work.
