This call for help in compiling a archive of web sites relative to
the 9/11 tragedy came to me off a technology oriented list--I thought
it might be appropriately circulated here.
(I've included the forwarding context--it helps make the point that
the historical material on the web is often evanescent and in need of
preservation.)
-----------------------------------Forwarded material----------
FYI
This looks like an excellent archive project. Contact the web archive at U Penn
with your findings.
Interestingly, I went to two Taliban web sites on Wednesday. One is a
front from
an Indian ISP. The other had plenty of propaganda and was hacked on Tuesday.
Both are gone today. Send your links to U Penn so that the sites can be
downloaded and achived before they disappear.

Please help us build a Web Archive of the Sept 11 Attack
webArchivist.org is working with The Internet Archive in collaboration
with the Library of Congress to identify and archive pages and sites
related to the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington on September
11, 2001. We want to be sure that there is a solid historical record of
this time.
We are asking for volunteers to help us identify any web sites or pages
that have information or content about the Sep11 Attack. We are
especially interested in finding sites by individuals -- that record
their feelings, experiences or opinions. We are also especially
interested in finding non-American sites . . .
