Thank you so much for your question Mr. Garner. While the grant is geared towards New York state entities, I would strongly encourage anyone with collections or interested in collecting these materials to take the survey. All of the survey responses will be stored in a main database which will be used for analysis and future research. I welcome any questions and look forward to hearing from as many of you as possible. Sincerely, Althea Bernheim Project Archivist WTC 9/11 Documentation Project NYART [log in to unmask] 201-656-0809 Is this survey limited to institutions in NYC or New York State? Clearly thousands of museums across the country saved archival materials documenting local impact and responses.
