Online Resources for Studying 9/11

If you're interested in primary sources on the September 11, 2001 tragedies, finding your way through the flood of information available online can be difficult. Here are a few of the important, freely available archives of digital material:

• The September 11 Digital Archive. Compiled by CUNY's American Social History Project and the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University, this site collects a diverse range of materials, from digitized versions of leaflets on the streets of New York City to first-person accounts of the day's events to Department of Justice emails to photographs and artwork contributed by site visitors.
  
• Columbia University Libraries' guide to "The World Trade Center Attack: The Official Documents." A selective bibliography of important government documents on the topic, with links to the documents themselves.
  
• The September 11 Television Archive. Televised news coverage from September 11-13, 2001, recorded live, for the major American broadcast networks, CNN, and the BBC, provided by the Internet Archive and the Television Archive.
• September11News.com. Despite its cluttered interface and some less-than-scholarly sections, this site provides amazing images of newspaper and magazine front pages from around the world in the days after the attacks, allowing for comparison and contrast of domestic and international coverage of the events.
  

Links to many other important resources are available through these sites, including resources from the Library of Congress and other organizations.
