Two universities have developed an electronic repository to warehouse
public responses to the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington,
D.C. By Eric Chabrow

An electronic repository to warehouse public responses to the Sept. 11
terrorist attacks and their aftermath captured in E-mails, digital images,
online diaries, and other electronic media, is being unveiled by two
universities Monday, the six-month anniversary of the attacks on New York
City and the Pentagon.

The Sept. 11 Digital Archive project, a joint project funded with a
$700,000 grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, will be developed by
the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University in
Fairfax, Va., and the American Social History Project/Center for Media and
Learning at the City University of New York Graduate Center.

Archive operators encourage the public to submit their digital documents
to the archives, which can be found at www.911digitalarchive.org
