For the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the September 11 Digital Archive has overlaid a select group of photographs and stories from Ground Zero in New York on an interactive map. Clicking on blue markers (photos) or red markers (stories) shows details from the September 11 Digital Archive.

Featured Collection -- Ground One: Voices from Post-911 Chinatown aims to provide an in-depth portrait of the ways in which the identity of a community, largely neglected by national media following 9/11, has been indelibly shaped by that day.

Visit our sister project: The Hurricane Digital Memory Bank uses electronic media to collect, preserve, and present the stories, images, and responses of the devastating 2005 hurricane season.

The September 11 Digital Archive is pleased to announce that it has partnered with the Library of Congress to ensure the long-term preservation of its collections. To mark the occasion a day-long symposium entitled September 11 as History: Collecting Today for Tomorrow was hosted at the Library on September 10, 2003.
