                <text>SonicMemorial.org is an open archive and an online audio installation of the history of The World Trade Center. It collected stories, ambient sounds, voicemails, and archival recordings to tell the rich history of the twin towers, the neighborhood and the events of 9/11.&#13;
&#13;
Led by NPR's Lost &amp; Found Sound, The Sonic Memorial Project is a cross-media collaboration of more than 50 independent radio and new media producers, artists, historians, and people from around the world who have contributed personal and archival recordings. To date, we have gathered more than 1,000 contributions, many of which have been woven into feature stories by Lost &amp; Found Sound and broadcast on NPR.&#13;
&#13;
SonicMemorial.org is produced by Picture Projects and dotsperinch in collaboration with Lost &amp; Found Sound. </text>
