Remembering September 11 -- online exhibits
At Bunker Hill Community College on September 11, 2004, opportunities for reflection on the events of two year ago include:
- September 11th, a memorial -- a special report from CNN.com that functions as "an evolving record of those who died and a place for readers to build a living memorial for them."
- September11archive.org - This site is an archive for online reactions to and discussions of the 9/11 events. You may search for specific sites or browse through twelve broad subject categories.
- 9/11 Digital Archive -- much like the September 11th website archive, this site also attempts to collect, preserve, and present the online reactions of ordinary citizens to the events of September 11, 2001. Includes personal stories, photos, and collections of e-mail messages and other electronic media transmissions.
