Re: Memorial Exhibition

• For information about how to best ship your materials please see our shipping guidelines.
• Please note that we are hoping to obtain at least one clear, visually crisp portrait of each individual. It is ideal if the image shows your loved one looking at the camera, from the chest up, and was taken around the year 2000 or 2001. Kindly provide us with a photograph that is as close to the original print as possible, to insure its legibility when produced for exhibition.
• You are welcome to send us supporting photographs along with the portrait (3-5 recommended). Donations exceeding this number will be reviewed, and a selection will be made by the Museum. The remaining images will be returned to the donor.
• Please follow the instructions on the form for describing the materials you enclose, remembering to include your contact information and preferred credit line for the gift. Please select either “option 1” or “option 2” to grant the Museum use permissions for the materials you enclose. Please also consider granting the Museum permission to share digital copies of your materials with our partner, Voices of September 11th, for inclusion in the 9/11 Living Memorial project.
