Dear Fellow Internet Researchers, We have been working with the Internet Archive and the Library of Congress to create an archive of web materials related to the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States. A limited version of the publicly accessible materials is available at http://september11.archive.org. We are hoping to put together a panel of papers for the IR 3.0 Conference [http://aoir.org/2002/] next fall featuring analyses based on these archived materials. If you are interested in joining this panel, please read on. If you know of someone who might be interested, please forward this email to them. The archive consists of several thousand web sites collected on a daily basis from September 11, 2001 through December 1, 2001. There is a primitive categorization based on "producer type" available for a limited number of sites. Additional cataloguing and indexing work will soon be underway, and participating scholars would have early access to this data. In addition, some limited assistance with using the archive for research purposes will be available. If you are interested in writing and presenting a study of some aspect of the post-September 11 web at the AOIR conference next October, please let us know by email before January 30th. In your response, describe the kind of work you'd like to do, mention how you would plan on using the archived materials to address your research question, and include an abstract of your proposed paper for possible inclusion in the AOIR panel proposal.
