September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack Collection

The cover of Time, showing the explosion of the World Trade Center towers.

Provenance

The collection was provided to Special Collections by the Journalism Library in 2003. It was assembled by Pat Timberlake at the University of Missouri-Columbia's Journalism Library for use by faculty and students wanting to research the terrorist attack.

Scope and Contents

The collection consists of domestic and international magazines and newspapers that show how the September 11th terrorist attack was portrayed in the media. A number of Missouri newspapers are represented. It also includes 35 mm slides of the covers of much of the material.

Access

The collection is available to all researchers. The collection does not circulate, but faculty are able to make special arrangement to borrow parts of the collection for short-term classroom use. Otherwise, material must be used in Special Collections' reading room during service hours or by appointment.
