Call for Audio about the World Trade Center from NPR
 
A CALL FOR SOUND

Lost & Found Sound's 
SONIC MEMORIAL PROJECT 
September 11, 2001 
A Nationwide Public Radio Collaboration The public radio community
across the country is joining together to create a Sonic Memorial to
commemorate and chronicle the people, places and endeavors that made
up
the life and history of the World Trade Center. 

We are seeking audio of all kinds - voice mail messages, personal &
business recordings, dictation tapes, corporate videos, tourist
videos,
oral histories, recordings of WTC concerts and events, stories from
the
many rescue workers and volunteers - the voices, sounds and stories
of
the World Trade Center neighborhood and working environment before,
during and after the events of September 11, 2001. Tell us what else
is
out there. 

CALL NPR'S SONIC MEMORIAL LINE

CONTRIBUTE YOUR SOUNDS & STORIES
 If you have personal recordings or remembrances that you feel are
appropriate for this project, please call NPR's special voicemail
line
at 202-408-0300 and describe your material to us. The audio artifacts
that we collectively gather will be shaped into national and local
radio
specials, incorporated into on-site memorials and made available to
the
public via the internet and through a national archive.
