Revision as of 19:09, 21 September 2014
NARA have made many 9/11 Commission records public. You'll find MFRs (memoranda for the record, interview summaries) available from here, for instance.
You may also download the set of MFRs available online for a given set of boxes via these huge PDF files (see below for details of what's in which boxes).
- MFRs in boxes 1-5, 193MB
- MFRs in boxes 6-10, 31.8MB
- MFRs in boxes 11-15, 85MB
- MFRs in boxes 16-21, 142MB
However, many other important documents are still only available if you visit their research rooms in person, hardly the most convenient solution. So we've used the Finding Aid to locate records that seem important, had them copied and mailed, then scanned and uploaded them. Each document will then be linked to other pages on the site as seems relevant, but this page will be the master index of every document we've uploaded so far. Its structure follows that described in the Finding Aid: the records are divided into sections (major Commission members and teams), each of these has multiple boxes, and each box contains either records, or folders containing records. (If you're not looking at the Finding Aid then this may not be a helpful way of organising things, and you might be better off searching for whatever interests you using the Search box top left, or the left-hand menu system.)
