The City’s 9/11 records, made searchable.
Operated by Cleartext Labs. Independent; not affiliated with the City of New York.
What this is
A way to search New York City’s released records about its response to September 11, 2001: air and dust testing, building-by-building sampling, inspections and internal memos. It is for families, legal researchers, journalists and anyone who wants to read the source.
We mirror the City’s records and follow later additions, removals and replacements. A record’s appearance does not establish wrongdoing, exposure or illness.
Sources
The source is the NYC Law Department’s 9/11 Document Portal. Collection, agency, volume, box and folder labels come from the City. The capture history records when we observed the catalog.
OCR and other machine-extracted information can be wrong. Verify against the page image and the current official PDF. Machine-written answers are research aids, not determinations of eligibility for a claim.
How to cite
Cite the City agency, document or page’s Bates number, the City’s official PDF URL and the date you accessed it. Include this site’s stable page link so another reader can find the exact page.
NYC Law Department, [record title], [Bates page], [official PDF URL], accessed [date]. Page link: https://911records.org/page/[Bates page].
Use the viewer’s citation control, then check the official PDF before filing or publishing. A capture date is an observation date, not necessarily the date of publication.
