In the aftermath of September 11, 2001, ICP began assembling an archive of photographic materials documenting the events of that day and their immediate aftermath.

Now comprising more than 1,500 objects, ICP’s September 11 Archive includes photographs made by photojournalists and bystanders, a comprehensive collection of newspapers from September 11 and the days that followed, missing persons posters, publications, videos, historical artifacts, and a portion of the ICP exhibition “Here is New York.”

ICP Registrar Branden Wallace reflects on the significance of the archive and the importance of keeping them accessible for future generations.

Twenty-five years later, the archive remains an important record of how September 11 was documented and remembered through photography and other visual materials.
