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 (202) 408-0300 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.
