Again, from today's New York Times: The 500 Hours of 9/11 By GLENN COLLINS <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/c/glenn_coll ins/index.html?inline=nyt-per> Published: May 30, 2006 [The article discusses the fact that many 9/11 collections are in private hands and there are few well-funded institutions to take the collections when the original collectors want/need to donate them.] The exact number of such collections is unknown, but "there must be more than 100,000 people of one sort or another who have these materials," said Althea Bernheim, a professional archivist who has been developing a database of major ones for the Archivists Roundtable of Metropolitan New York, which has resources for collectors at www.nycarchivists.org/surveyintro.html. So far, the Roundtable has identified more than 260 major repositories in a program financed by New York State's Documentary Heritage Program. Some archives have thousands of artifacts and documents.
