Return Reference Explanation
PART III, LINE 1A: IN ACCORDANCE WITH INDUSTRY PRACTICE, THE VALUE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S COLLECTION IS NOT REFLECTED AS AN ASSET ON THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION. PURCHASES OF COLLECTION ITEMS ARE RECORDED IN THE YEAR IN WHICH THE ITEMS ARE ACQUIRED AS DECREASES TO NET ASSETS WITHOUT DONOR RESTRICTIONS. PURSUANT TO THE ORGANIZATION'S COLLECTIONS MANAGEMENT POLICY, PROCEEDS FROM DEACCESSIONS ARE TO BE USED TO ACQUIRE OTHER ITEMS FOR THE COLLECTION, AND FOR THE PRESERVATION, PROTECTION, OR CARE OF COLLECTIONS AS APPROVED BY THE BOARD AND ARE RECORDED AS NET ASSETS WITHOUT DONOR RESTRICTIONS DESIGNATED FOR ACQUISITIONS OR CARE OF COLLECTION ITEMS.
PART III, LINE 4: DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION'S COLLECTIONS AND HOW THEY FURTHER THE ORGANIZATION'S EXEMPT PURPOSE: PUBLIC EXHIBITION (I) THE COLLECTIONS OF THE 9/11 MEMORIAL & MUSEUM COMPRISE A COMPREHENSIVE PHYSICAL, VISUAL, AUDIO, AND ANALYTICAL RECORD OF THE EVENTS, IMPACT, AND LEGACY OF THE SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 TERRORIST ATTACKS ON THE UNITED STATES, INCLUDING MATERIAL RELEVANT TO THE PRECURSOR BOMBING OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ON FEBRUARY 26, 1993. THE MUSEUM CURRENTLY DISPLAYS APPROXIMATELY 925 OBJECTS IN ITS PUBLIC EXHIBITION SPACES, WHICH INCLUDES ITEMS ON LOAN AS WELL AS APPROXIMATELY 650 OBJECTS FROM ITS PERMANENT COLLECTION. ANNUAL ROTATIONS OF COLLECTION OBJECTS ARE REGULARLY SCHEDULED FOR VARIOUS INSTALLATIONS THROUGHOUT THE MUSEUM. SCHOLARLY RESEARCH (II) THE MUSEUM WELCOMES RESEARCHERS BY APPOINTMENT AND FACILITATED OVER 30 SUBSTANTIVE, EXTERNAL RESEARCH REQUESTS VIA ITS ONLINE CATALOGUE IN 2021 AS WELL AS ACCOMMODATING ADDITIONAL REMOTE ACCESS REQUESTS BY SCHOLARS, RESEARCHERS AND DOCUMENTARY FILM PRODUCERS REQUESTING ACCESS TO THESE RESOURCES UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF COLLECTIONS STAFF. RELYING MORE HEAVILY ON REMOTE WORK APPLICATIONS AS A RESULT OF THE PANDEMIC, WE FACILITATED REQUESTS FOR COLLECTIONS ACCESS VIA VIRTUAL SECURE CHANNELS, FOR EXAMPLE, MICROSOFT STREAM. IN 2021, WE ADDED OVER 250 OBJECTS TO OUR ONLINE COLLECTION CATALOGUE PORTAL, "INSIDE THE COLLECTION" (HTTPS://COLLECTION.911MEMORIAL.ORG/), CREATING ACCESS TO OVER 3,000 OBJECTS. IN ADDITION, PERSONNEL IN THE MUSEUM PROGRAMS DIVISION ADDRESSED NUMEROUS PHONE AND E-MAIL CONSULTATIONS WITH OUTSIDE RESEARCHERS. A SEPARATE E-MAIL SYSTEM IMPLEMENTED IN 2014 FOR ADDRESSING GENERAL COLLECTIONS, EDUCATION, AND EXHIBITIONS QUESTIONS CONTINUES TO FACILITATE READY RESPONSES TO MORE COMMONLY POSED PUBLIC INQUIRIES. MEMBERS OF THE COLLECTIONS, EDUCATION, AND EXHIBITIONS TEAMS WERE ALSO ACTIVE AS PRODUCERS OF RESEARCH IN THEIR RESPECTIVE AREAS OF EXPERTISE, DELIVERING TALKS AT NATIONAL PROFESSIONAL CONFERENCES, LECTURING AT VARIOUS COLLEGE AND PEER INSTITUTIONAL VENUES, TEACHING ON-SITE AND VIRTUAL CLASSES, AND FACILITATING CONTENT-FOCUSED VISITS BY OUTSIDE SCHOLARS, GRADUATE STUDENTS, AND PEERS FROM HISTORIC SITES AND MUSEUMS AROUND THE WORLD. PRESERVATION FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS (III) THE MUSEUM ACTIVELY WORKS TO CONSERVE ITS COLLECTION THROUGH PROACTIVE, BEST-PRACTICE STANDARDS FOR THE CORRECT HANDLING AND STORAGE OF MUSEUM COLLECTIONS OF DIVERSE MEDIA. FOR EXAMPLE, NEW ACQUISITIONS ARE REHOUSED AND STORED USING ARCHIVAL MATERIALS. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SECURITY CONTROLS ARE ALSO IN PLACE IN STORAGE AND EXHIBITION SPACES TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE COLLECTION. ONLY TRAINED AND AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL MAY HANDLE COLLECTION OBJECTS. IN 2021, THE MUSEUM'S CONSERVATORS CARRIED OUT ROTATIONS OF VULNERABLE OBJECTS IN THE HISTORICAL EXHIBITION TO REDUCE DAMAGE THAT LONG-TERM DISPLAY CAN CAUSE. OBJECTS TAKEN OFF VIEW WERE REPLACED BY NARRATIVE-APPROPRIATE ALTERNATIVES SELECTED BY THE CURATORIAL TEAM. PRIOR TO BEING EXHIBITED, THE CONDITION OF EACH OBJECT WAS CAREFULLY ASSESSED AND DOCUMENTED. SOME MINOR CONSERVATION TREATMENT WAS REQUIRED TO PREPARE SOME OBJECTS FOR EXHIBITION. MUSEUM CONSERVATORS HAVE ALSO BEEN ENGAGED IN RESEARCH INVOLVING A LARGE, SURVIVING SEGMENT OF THE SLURRY WALL, A SECTION OF THE PERIMETER WALL THAT PERFORMED AS A WATER-BLOCKING BARRIER BETWEEN THE HUDSON RIVER AND WORLD TRADE CENTER'S ORIGINALLY EXCAVATED "BATHTUB." LOAN OR EXCHANGE PROGRAMS (IV) IN 2021, THE MUSEUM ORGANIZED EIGHT LOANS FROM ITS COLLECTIONS TO INSTITUTIONS SUCH AS THE NATIONAL QUILT MUSEUM, THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT (U.S. EMBASSY LONDON), AND THE UNIVERSITY OF WEST FLORIDA HISTORIC TRUST FOR EXHIBITIONS RELATED TO THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11. THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO BUILD ITS PERMANENT COLLECTION AND HAS ADOPTED A COLLECTIONS MANAGEMENT POLICY TO DEFINE THE SCOPE AND INTELLECTUAL FRAMEWORK OF ASSETS AND THE PROCEDURES BY WHICH THESE MATERIALS ARE ACCESSIONED, CATALOGUED, AND PRESERVED. THROUGH LEADERSHIP OF THE BOARD AND STAFF, THE ORGANIZATION STRIVES TO ESTABLISH, PRESERVE, AND DOCUMENT PRIMARY RECORDS, MATERIAL EVIDENCE, SPOKEN TESTIMONY, AND OTHER WIDE-RANGING CULTURAL DOCUMENTATION RELATED TO THE SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 AND FEBRUARY 26, 1993 TERRORIST ATTACKS, THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT LEADING UP TO THEM, AND THEIR AFTERMATH AND ONGOING REPERCUSSIONS. THE ORGANIZATION MAKES ITS COLLECTION AVAILABLE AS LOANS TO OTHER MUSEUMS AND PRESENTING INSTITUTIONS, IN THE U.S. AND ABROAD, THAT MEET OUR SECURITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CRITERIA. THE COLLECTION IS ALSO AVAILABLE, THROUGH ITS CATALOGUE AND BY APPOINTMENT, TO THE PUBLIC FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES AND IN COOPERATION WITH OUR PROFESSIONAL STAFF AND SCHOOL EDUCATORS FOR THE CREATION OF LESSON PLANS THAT ARE THEN MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR WEBSITE. THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS ARE ALSO USED IN EDUCATIONAL AND PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND WIDE-RANGING WEB-BASED CONTENT COMMUNICATIONS FOR THE BENEFIT OF VISITORS. IN 2021, THE ORGANIZATION SPENT $20,000 ON ACQUISITIONS OF COLLECTION ITEMS. THIS INCLUDED A PAYMENT FOR A SINGULAR, LIFE-SIZED POLAROID PORTRAIT BY TIME-LIFE PHOTOGRAPHER JOE MCNALLY FROM HIS 2001 SERIES. THIS PURCHASE WAS FUNDED BY BOARD-ALLOCATED FUNDS ANNUALLY HELD IN A RESTRICTED, ROLL-OVER ACQUISITIONS LINE.
PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION RECOGNIZES THE EFFECT OF INCOME TAX POSITIONS ONLY IF THOSE POSITIONS ARE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE SUSTAINED. MANAGEMENT HAS DETERMINED THAT THE ORGANIZATION HAD NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT WOULD REQUIRE FINANCIAL STATEMENT RECOGNITION OR DISCLOSURE. THE ORGANIZATION IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY THE APPLICABLE TAXING JURISDICTIONS FOR YEARS PRIOR TO 2018.
PART XI, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS: RECLASS SPECIAL EVENT EXPENSES REPORTED ON PART VIII 292,364.
PART XII, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS: RECLASS SPECIAL EVENT EXPENSES REPORTED ON PART VIII 292,364.

FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION: THE TERRORIST ATTACKS OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 AND FEBRUARY 26, 1993. RESPECTING THIS SITE MADE SACRED THROUGH LOSS, THE MEMORIAL & MUSEUM REMEMBERS AND HONORS THE 2,983 VICTIMS OF THESE ATTACKS AND ALL THOSE WHO RISKED THEIR LIVES TO SAVE OTHERS. IT FURTHER RECOGNIZES THE THOUSANDS WHO SURVIVED AND ALL WHO MANIFESTED EXTRAORDINARY COMPASSION AND LEADERSHIP IN THE WAKE OF THE ATTACKS. DEMONSTRATING THE CONSEQUENCES OF TERRORISM ON INDIVIDUAL LIVES AND ITS IMPACT ON COMMUNITIES AT THE LOCAL, NATIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL LEVELS, THE MEMORIAL & MUSEUM ATTESTS TO THE TRIUMPH OF HUMAN DIGNITY OVER HUMAN DEPRAVITY AND AFFIRMS AN UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO THE FUNDAMENTAL VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE. "MAY THE LIVES REMEMBERED, THE DEEDS RECOGNIZED, AND THE SPIRIT REAWAKENED BE ETERNAL BEACONS, WHICH REAFFIRM RESPECT FOR LIFE, STRENGTHEN OUR RESOLVE TO PRESERVE FREEDOM, AND INSPIRE AN END TO HATRED, IGNORANCE AND INTOLERANCE." IN 2021, THE YEAR OF THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE 9/11 ATTACKS, THE NATIONAL SEPTEMBER 11 MEMORIAL & MUSEUM (9/11 MEMORIAL & MUSEUM), LED THE COUNTRY IN MARKING THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DAY THAT CHANGED THE WORLD FOREVER. ON SEPTEMBER 11, DIGNITARIES AND ELECTED OFFICIALS JOINED 8,500 FAMILY MEMBERS AND GUESTS FOR THE COMMEMORATION CEREMONY, AND THROUGHOUT THE DAY, MORE THAN 61,000 INDIVIDUALS FROM AROUND THE WORLD VISITED THE MEMORIAL TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS AND VIEW THE ART INSTALLATION THE 9/11 MEMORIAL & MUSEUM PRODUCES ANNUALLY, THE "TRIBUTE IN LIGHT." IN ADDITION, THE ORGANIZATION PARTNERED WITH NYC & COMPANY TO ENCOURAGE BUILDINGS AND LANDMARKS ACROSS THE CITY AND STATE TO LIGHT THEIR FACADES IN MEMORIAL BLUE. NEARLY 50 LOCATIONS PARTICIPATED, INCLUDING ONE WORLD TRADE CENTER, THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING, LINCOLN CENTER, CITY HALL, CITY BRIDGES, THE JFK AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER, THE TIMES SQUARE BALL, AND NIAGARA FALLS. WITH ITS RAW, FIRST-PERSON ACCOUNTS AND THE UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES OF THOSE WHO EXPERIENCED THE ATTACKS AS CHILDREN, THIS YEAR'S ANNIVERSARY IN THE SCHOOLS WEBINAR WAS ONE MORE WAY THE 9/11 MEMORIAL & MUSEUM MAINTAINED OUR COMMITMENT TO ENSURING THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ATTACKS. MORE THAN 1,000,000 INDIVIDUALS PARTICIPATED ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, AND SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2021. THE PROGRAM, MADE POSSIBLE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NEW YORK LIFE FOUNDATION, WAS SHOWCASED AT SCHOOLS, LIBRARIES, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN ALL 50 STATES AND NEARLY 50 COUNTRIES, TRIPLING LAST YEAR'S PARTICIPATION. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION AND WITH SUPPORT FROM THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES, WE DEVELOPED A POSTER EXHIBITION ENTITLED "SEPTEMBER 11, 2001: THE DAY THAT CHANGED THE WORLD." NEARLY 4,000 SITES REGISTERED TO SHOWCASE THESE 14 POSTERS THAT PROVIDED AN INTRODUCTION TO THE HISTORY, AFTERMATH, AND ONGOING REPERCUSSIONS OF THE 9/11 ATTACKS AND INCLUDED ARCHIVAL PHOTOGRAPHS AND IMAGES OF ARTIFACTS FROM THE MUSEUM'S PERMANENT COLLECTION. WITH THE LAUNCH OF THE NEVER FORGET FUND, THE 9/11 MEMORIAL & MUSEUM CONTINUES TO ENSURE THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS UNDERSTAND THE ATTACKS ON 9/11, THE ONGOING IMPACT OF THAT DAY, AND HOW WE RESPONDED. OUR "REMEMBER THE SKY" SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN RESONATED WITH HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD WHO SHARED PHOTOS OF THE SKY WHEREVER THEY WERE AS AN ACT OF REMEMBRANCE. OVER THE COURSE OF 2021, THE INSTITUTION CONTINUED ITS RECOVERY FROM THE EFFECTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. WHILE ATTENDANCE, AND THEREFORE REVENUE, REMAINED DRASTICALLY REDUCED DUE TO THE ONGOING IMPACTS OF THE PANDEMIC, THE INSTITUTION CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN ALL CORE OPERATIONAL AND PROGRAMMATIC COMMITMENTS. WHEREVER POSSIBLE, DEPARTMENTS ADAPTED ACTIVITIES AND INITIATIVES NOT CONDUCIVE TO PRODUCING IN THE CURRENT PANDEMIC ENVIRONMENT BY CONVERTING PREVIOUSLY IN-PERSON EVENTS AND PROGRAMS TO VIRTUAL AND HYBRID OFFERINGS. THIS ENABLED THE INSTITUTION TO ENSURE IT WAS STILL SERVING ITS MISSION AS WELL AS ENGAGING WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, WITH THE ADDED BENEFIT OF OFTEN REACHING A LARGER AND MORE GEOGRAPHICALLY DIVERSE AUDIENCE IN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING. IN 2021, FOLLOWING A VERY RIGOROUS MULTI-YEAR PROCESS EXAMINING ALL ASPECTS OF THE MUSEUM'S OPERATIONS, THE 9/11 MEMORIAL & MUSEUM WAS PROUD TO ACHIEVE ACCREDITATION BY THE AMERICAN ALLIANCE OF MUSEUMS, THE HIGHEST NATIONAL RECOGNITION AFFORDED TO THE NATION'S MUSEUMS. OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR, OUR COLLECTIONS TEAM ACQUIRED MORE THAN 400 ITEMS, BRINGING COLLECTION HOLDINGS TO MORE THAN 73,500. ADDITIONALLY, OUR PROFESSIONAL AND PUBLIC PROGRAMS REACHED NEARLY 6,000 PEOPLE, INCLUDING BOTH VIRTUAL AND ON-SITE OFFERINGS. THIS YEAR WE WERE ONCE AGAIN RANKED AS THE #1 MUSEUM IN NEW YORK CITY AND #1 MUSEUM IN THE UNITED STATES BY TRIPADVISOR.COM.

DEMONSTRATING THE CONSEQUENCES OF TERRORISM ON INDIVIDUAL LIVES AND ITS IMPACT ON COMMUNITIES AT THE LOCAL, NATIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL LEVELS, THE MEMORIAL & MUSEUM ATTESTS TO THE TRIUMPH OF HUMAN DIGNITY OVER HUMAN DEPRAVITY AND AFFIRMS AN UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO THE FUNDAMENTAL VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B: OUR SCHOOL AND TEACHERS PROGRAMMING REMAINED PRIMARILY VIRTUAL DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. OVER 7,000 STUDENTS TOOK PART IN OUR VIRTUAL SCHOOL PROGRAMS, OVER 1,000 TEACHERS TOOK PART IN OUR VIRTUAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS AND EVENTS, AND OVER 1 MILLION STUDENTS, FROM ALL 50 STATES AND AROUND THE WORLD, PARTICIPATED IN OUR ANNUAL ANNIVERSARY IN THE SCHOOLS PROGRAM, WHICH CONTINUES TO SERVE AS ONE OF OUR SIGNATURE ANNUAL PROGRAMS. OVER 600 INDIVIDUALS PARTICIPATED IN ART CART, OUR ONSITE YOUTH & FAMILY PROGRAM HOSTED OVER THE SUMMER. OUR GUIDED TOUR PROGRAM TRANSITIONED BACK ONSITE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR, AS WE CONTINUED TO OFFER VIRTUAL TOURS. NEARLY 25,000 VISITORS TOOK AN ONSITE TOUR. OUR PUBLIC PROGRAMS, FOCUSED PRINCIPALLY ON DEEPENING UNDERSTANDING OF 9/11'S CONNECTION TO CURRENT EVENTS AND THE ATTACKS' ONGOING CULTURAL IMPACT, REMAINED ONLINE AS WELL. IN TOTAL, OVER 2,868 PARTICIPANTS JOINED IN 2021. THE 9/11 MEMORIAL & MUSEUM CONTINUED ITS PROFESSIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMS, WHICH PROVIDE AN IN-DEPTH EXPLORATION OF 9/11 FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT, INTELLIGENCE AND MILITARY AGENCIES TO RECOGNIZE THE SPECIAL CONNECTIONS BETWEEN 9/11 AND THEIR WORK. EACH PROGRAM IS GEARED TOWARD MEETING THE UNIQUE NEEDS AND INTERESTS OF THE AGENCY IN ATTENDANCE. IN 2021, WE CONTINUED OUR VIRTUAL OFFERINGS AND WELCOMED SELECT AGENCIES BACK ONSITE FOR PROGRAMMING. WE SERVED 2,922 INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPANTS. FOR THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE 9/11 ATTACKS, THE MUSEUM AGAIN PRODUCED THE "TRIBUTE IN LIGHT", THE ICONIC ANNUAL MEMORIAL THAT DOMINATES THE LOWER MANHATTAN SKYLINE FROM DUSK ON SEPTEMBER 11 TO DAWN ON SEPTEMBER 12. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO LAUNCHED A DOWNLOADABLE POSTER EXHIBITION: "SEPTEMBER 11, 2001: THE DAY THAT CHANGED THE WORLD", WHICH PRESENTED THE EVENTS OF 9/11, ITS HISTORICAL ANTECEDENTS AND THE IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH OF THE ATTACKS AND THE NINE-MONTH RECOVERY PERIOD, AND THE ONGOING REPERCUSSIONS OF 9/11 TO THIS DAY. NEARLY 4,000 LIBRARIES, SCHOOLS, AND COMMUNITY CENTERS FROM ALL 50 STATES PLUS 39 FOREIGN COUNTRIES PARTICIPATED IN DISPLAYING THE POSTERS AROUND THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE 9/11 ATTACKS. A NEW ONLINE RESOURCE, THE 9/11 PRIMER, WAS ALSO CREATED TO HELP DIGITAL LEARNERS UNDERSTAND THE EVENTS OF 9/11, THE LEAD UP TO THE ATTACKS, AND THE ONGOING EFFECTS. SUPPORTING THE PUBLIC-FACING ACTIVITIES OF THE MUSEUM WERE ONGOING EFFORTS TO BUILD, PRESERVE, CATALOGUE, AND MAKE ACCESSIBLE ARTIFACTS FROM THE PERMANENT COLLECTION, THEREBY ENHANCING PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE 9/11 ATTACKS AND THEIR ONGOING CONSEQUENCES. THROUGH DONATIONS, STRATEGIC PURCHASES, AND INTERVIEWS CONDUCTED BY THE MUSEUM'S ORAL HISTORIANS, THE MUSEUM CONTINUED ACTIVE GROWTH OF ITS PERMANENT COLLECTION WITH NEW OBJECTS, DOCUMENTS, AND ORAL TESTIMONIES. BY THE END OF 2021, THE MUSEUM'S ACQUISITIONS NUMBERED MORE THAN 21,400 OBJECTS AND ARTWORKS, 45,800 PRINT AND DIGITAL IMAGES, 360 MOVING IMAGES, AND 3,700 ORAL RECORDINGS. ONE SIGNIFICANT ACQUISITION RECEIVED IN 2021 WAS THE PRAYER BENCH USED BY FATHER MYCHAL JUDGE, THE REVERED CHAPLAIN OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OF NEW YORK. FATHER JUDGE KILLED IN THE LOBBY OF THE NORTH TOWER WAS DECLARED THE FIRST OFFICIAL HOMICIDE VICTIM OF THE TERRORIST ATTACKS. FATHER JUDGE HAD USED THE PRAYER BENCH FOR MANY YEARS WHILE VISITING HIS SISTER'S HOME IN MARYLAND. ANOTHER NOTEWORTHY GIFT WAS THE PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE COMPILED BY FAYE MURMAN, OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THE FEALGOOD FOUNDATION, AN ORGANIZATION CREATED BY INJURED 9/11 RESPONDER JOHN FEAL TO PERSUADE THE U.S. CONGRESS TO PROVIDE PERMANENT FUNDING TO SICK AND INJURED 9/11 RESPONDERS. MURMAN'S ARCHIVE OF HUNDREDS OF DIGITAL IMAGES DOCUMENTS MEMBERS OF THE FOUNDATION ON MULTIPLE LOBBYING TRIPS TO WASHINGTON, DC, WHEN PRESSING FOR PASSAGE OF THE REPLENISHED AND EXTENDED VICTIM COMPENSATION FUND BY THE U.S. SENATE. FACILITATED BY THE COLLECTIONS DEPARTMENT, A HOST OF PRINT AND ONLINE MEDIA OUTLETS UTILIZED THE MUSEUM'S HOLDINGS FOR WIDE-RANGING FEATURES PRODUCED FOR THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE 9/11 ATTACKS. THREE NOTABLE PUBLIC-FACING PROJECTS WERE THE COLLABORATIONS WITH ASSOCIATED PRESS (A SERIES OF VIGNETTES FEATURING FAMILY MEMBERS OF 9/11 VICTIMS AND THE OBJECTS THEY HAD DONATED IN MEMORY OF THEIR LOVED ONES); NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE (A STUNNING PHOTO ESSAY TITLED "SACRED DUST" DEPICTING DOZENS OF POIGNANT MUSEUM ARTIFACTS DOCUMENTED BY THE RENOWNED PHOTOGRAPHER HENRY LEUTWYLER), AND TWO SPECIAL FILM INTERVIEWS WITH DONORS DISCUSSING THEIR "SURVIVOR SHOES" PRODUCED WITH A&E NETWORK'S HISTORY CHANNEL. OUTGOING LOANS REQUESTED FROM THE 9/11 MEMORIAL MUSEUM'S COLLECTION, TOTALING 140 OBJECTS, SURGED DURING THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY PERIOD. NOTABLE AMONG THOSE FACILITATED IN 2021 WERE SUBSTANTIAL LOANS MADE TO EXHIBITIONS PRESENTED AT THE NATIONAL QUILT MUSEUM IN PADUCAH, KY, THE NATIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT MUSEUM IN WASHINGTON, DC, THE UNIVERSITY OF WEST FLORIDA HISTORIC TRUST IN PENSACOLA, AND THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT'S NEW AMERICAN EMBASSY IN LONDON. IN 2021, OVER 250 OBJECTS WERE ADDED TO INSIDE THE COLLECTION, THE MUSEUM'S ONLINE COLLECTIONS CATALOG. SINCE LAUNCHING IN 2016, THE SITE HAS GROWN FIVE-FOLD WITH NOW OVER 3,000 OBJECTS ACCESSIBLE TO RESEARCHERS. APPROXIMATELY 30 EXTERNAL RESEARCH QUERIES WERE FIELDED THROUGH THE SITE IN 2021.
