A searchable, mapped archive of New York City's released 9/11 records, including environmental tests, inspections, correspondence, and source documents.
- For
- Families, first responders, and legal researchers
- Worth noticing
- The collection contains 24,436 PDFs, 172,537 Bates-numbered pages, and 8,670 image-only pages OCR'd by the project.
Field notes
The archive organizes records through building footprints, collection order, timelines, topics, entities, and a contradictions view rather than presenting a flat document list. Its question interface uses machine-extracted OCR to suggest answers, but the site advises checking page images for consequential dates or readings. The visible catalog reports 8,670 image-only pages OCR'd by the project and 2,082 pages without extracted text.
