9/11 museum solicits the public's stories

Officials at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, being built on the site of the World Trade Center, said they want people worldwide to submit 9/11 images, video, and personal stories to the institution’s Web site.

The unrestricted digital archive at www.911history.org, dubbed “Making History,” permits anyone to contribute material. Offensive content may be flagged by others viewing the site. Memorial employees would determine whether it should be censored, museum president Joe Daniels said.
