More than 1,200 hours of video documenting September 11, 2001, its aftermath, and the creation of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum will be made public. The New York Public Library on Wednesday announced it acquired The CameraPlanet Archive , the largest contemporaneous video collection of 9/11. Recorded by more than 130 New Yorkers with camcorders, the footage captures both the attacks and the city’s resilience in one of its darkest moments.
