Archived websites relevant to the 911 attacks More than 5 terabytes of data can be accessed at links shown below. All website summaries shown were copied from the respective websites. http://www.loc.gov/minerva/collect/sept11/ The Collection Statement The Library of Congress, in collaboration with the Internet Archive, WebArchivist.org and the Pew Internet & American Life Project, has created a collection of digital materials known as the September 11 Web Archive. The September 11 Web Archive preserves the web expressions of individuals, groups, the press and institutions in the United States and from around the world in the aftermath of the attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001. The Web Archive is important because it contributes to the historical record, capturing information that could otherwise be lost. With the growing role of the Web as an influential medium, records of historic events could be considered incomplete without materials that were "born digital" and never printed on paper. The September 11 Web Archive is currently hosted by the Internet Archive. WebArchivist.org developed the user interface for the september11.archive.org web site. Webarchivist.org is presently working with the Library to create a searchable metadata database and an improved user interface which will enhance access to the Archive.
http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/911/911-library.html The Library of Congress, in collaboration with Internet Archive, Web Archivist.org, and the Pew Internet & American Life Project, developed the September 11 Web Archive ( http://www.loc.gov/911/ ), dedicated to preserving Web expression of individuals, groups, the press, and institutions in the United States and from around the world in the aftermath of the attacks. The period of web site collection began within hours of the tragedy and continued through the first week of December 2001. During that period, the site grew to include 30,000 web sites. The Library of Congress's decision to create this archive was born out of a need to understand the unthinkable as well as a professional obligation to collect and document diverse historical and cultural experience.
