The following message is posted at the request of the World Trade Center Documentation Task Force.

Moderator, NYHIST-L



The significance of the World Trade Center disaster is incalculable.   The media has stressed its impact on the nature of war, and on the cultural climate of this country.  It will also have immense and lasting effects on the social, economic, cultural and political life of New York City and the greater New York region. Recognizing the long-term importance of this event and its aftermath, a collaborative group of archives, libraries, museums, and historical records programs have formed the World Trade Center Documentation Task Force in an attempt to ensure that relevant records are preserved and that the accounts, perspectives, and actions of September 11, 2001 are carefully and fully documented.

We need your help in saving stories and experiences from that day and the days that followed.  The enclosed survey is short-just 14 questions, most just boxes you can check off.  But the resulting information will be tremendously important.  We want to hear from you if:

§ You or your organization have files, reports, letters, or other kinds of information you created as part of your involvement with the World Trade Center disaster.  Those records may be an important part of the story of this event.   Please fill out the survey as a "creator" of records.

§ You or your organizations are collecting records, artifacts, oral interviews, and other information about the World Trade Center disaster.  You might be doing this to create an exhibit, a memorial, a play or artwork, or just because you care about the issue.  Please fill out the survey as a "repository or collecting institution".

Please join us in ensuring that the documents and stories of this event survive for the future. Please fill out our survey online at: http://dlib.nyu.edu/survey/


If you'd like to be part of the Task Force, or learn more about our other efforts, contact us at:  [log in to unmask]  or by phone at 718-923-4300
