    Immediately following the attacks of September 11, 2001, curators at the New York State Museum began to document, collect, preserve and eventually exhibit material that would record the tragic events and bring the history to the public in new ways. Many unprecedented issues were confronted including collecting at crime scenes, working with families, survivors, the FBI, NYPD, FDNY and many city agencies—and the work continues today. Mark Schaming, Director of Exhibitions for the New York State Museum, discusses the issues of collecting sensitive material, the museum exhibitions that followed, and the museum visitor reaction within a close time frame of the tragic event.
