Fascinating are the words of netizens of the time in guestbooks, forums, and homepages of sites large and small that have been immortalized in the Internet Archive [a].<p>The Internet Archive also has an extensive collection of televised news footage from ‑‑09‑11 and the following weeks; I'm often reminded by its prominent placement in the 'Video' section of their navbar. Ironically, both their original 9/11 web collection (assembled by the Library of Congress shortly after the event) and the related Pew reports on internet use following 9/11 are lost to time; remnants can only be found in the Wayback Machine [0]. For whatever reason, it was replaced with one apparently curated by the September 11 Museum around 2008 [1].<p>[0] <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20011014012316/http://september11.archive.org/" rel="nofollow">https://web.archive.org/web/20011014012316/http://september1...</a><p>[1] <a href="https://www.archive-it.org/collections/1029" rel="nofollow">https://www.archive-it.org/collections/1029</a><p>[a] an aside: I find the archived sites of schools (of all kinds) from the time particularly captivating. Perhaps the abridgement of time enhances their liminal nature. Or maybe it's the feeling of sincerity in guestbook messages and the personal homepages of students and staff.
