Digital Archives: National 9/11 Memorial and Museum Wants Your Help as New Video is Released; Plus A Small Collection of 9/11 Archives

From the Story:

These new images [and video] are just a few minutes among hundreds of hours of amateur video and images being collected by the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center which has launched a website containing examples of citizen journalism of the tragedy.

According to today's press release the museum has issued a world-wide invitation for the public to submit media related to the 9/11 events through a new online initiative "Make History." 911History.org will become a permanent digital archive and help build an interactive, mapped time line of events on the web.

[Snip]

Each photo will be placed alongside current Google "Street View" photos of various locations. Users can click on locations, themes or time of day to view the footage or images from the locations they were actually taken reports Sky News.
