The September 11 Digital Archive uses electronic media to collect, preserve, and present the history of September 11, 2001 and its aftermath. The Archive contains more than 150,000 digital items, a tally that includes more than 40,000 emails and other electronic communications, more than 40,000 first-hand stories, and more than 15,000 digital images.

From all these thousands of miles away from a field in Pennsylvania, from the Pentagon, from the twin towers, I remember that day seven years ago very clearly. I wonder how many times I've seen that footage, a plane arcing in, an explosion, a building sinking to its knees...I'd guess, maybe hundreds - not that I've searched it out, it's not just omnipresent in popular culture but also hard to look away from. One's eyes remain disbelieving, one's heart utterly horrified.
