Within a few days of the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center in New York, the Museum of the City of New York engaged the noted photographer Joel Meyerowitz to create an archive of the destruction and recovery at Ground Zero and the immediate neighborhood. The 9/11 Photographic Archive will eventually number more than 5,000 images and will become part of the permanent collections of the Museum of the City of New York where it will be available for research, exhibition, and publication. Meyerowitz is working with a large format camera, which allows for the greatest detail and color reproduction. The Museum plans to mount an exhibition and publish an accompanying catalogue in 2004 as part of the opening of the new Museum of the City of New York at the Tweed Courthouse adjacent to New York City Hall, six blocks from the World Trade Center site.Faces of Ground Zero

In the aftermath of the World Trade Center tragedy . . . I rummaged around in my head. How could I take the are and craft of photography and cobble it with 25 years of shooting experience in New York to give something back, to make some sort of connection with this crisis that had occurred in my home town.Here is New York: A Democracy of Photographs
Contact: http://www.hereisnewyork.org/
Here is New York is not a conventional gallery show. It is something new, a show tailored to the nature of the event, and to the response it has elicited. The exhibition is subtitled "A Democracy of Photographs" because anyone and everyone who has taken pictures relating to the tragedy is invited to bring or ftp their images to the gallery, where they will be digitally scanned, archivally printed and displayed on the walls alongside the work of top photojournalists and other professional photographers. All of the prints which HERE IS NEW YORK displays will be sold to the public for $25, regardless of their provenance. The net proceeds will go to the Children's Aid Society WTC Relief Fund, for the benefit of the thousands of children who are among the greatest victims of this catastrophe.Lost and Found Sound: Sonic Memorial

National Public Radio has set up a special Sonic Memorial phone line (202) 408-0300 for callers to describe their audio artifacts and tell their stories related to the life and history of the World Trade Center and it's neighborhood before, during and after September 11. The idea for this project grew out Lost and Found Sound's focus on archival audio and personal recordings as an important way of telling peoples' stories and chronicling everyday life and historic events. So far hundreds of New Yorkers and people across the country have called offering their recordings -- a dramatic, unprecedented audio archive of immediate, first-person accounts chronicling an historic event from almost every vantage point...New York City Fire Museum

Starting in September 2002, the New York City Fire Museum will display its September 11 memorial. Their site contains words of encouragement for firemen from around the world.

New York Voices is a new series about the city's recovery from September 11. Hosted by Rafael Pi Roman, the program comprises a series of snapshot features about New Yorkers who are playing a part in the rebuilding process. The show also deals with some of the most pressing and controversial issues the city faces in the aftermath of this great tragedy. In a patchwork of interviews and vignettes, New York Voices explores topics such as the rebuilding of the fire department, the renewed significance of the Empire State Building, New York's identity as an immigrant city, and the feelings and reactions of young people who are coming of age in the wake of this defining event.Project September 11
