The Project was originally founded in New York City by Michael Feldschuh, a former Wall Street professional and an amateur photographer, and James Austin Murray, a New York City firefighter and 9/11 responder who also ran a gallery in lower Manhattan. The Project was founded in the days following the tragedy, to provide a venue for the display of photographs accompanied by captions by anyone who wished to participate. The exhibit aimed to preserve a record of the spontaneous outdoor shrines that were being swept away by rain or wind or collected by the city for historical preservation. The September 11 Photo Project opened at 26 Wooster Street in SoHo on October 13, 2001 and it toured seven cities over two years, collected photographs from more than 700 amateur and professional photographers, and had over 300,000 visitors over its run. Following a nationwide tour, the photographs were contributed to the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Collection of the New York Public Library and are now part of the permanent collection.The mission of the Project was to display, without exception, every set of photographs and words participants submitted; and welcome all who wished to see them. The exhibit was featured at the Chicago Public Library on the one-year anniversary of the attacks. During this period, Chicago Tribune discussed the possibility of people becoming immune to the impact of disaster photographs of 9/11, but Alan G. Artner, Tribune Art Critic, said “the most familiar images brought the events back to this viewer with force, which is one sign of how emotionally close to Sept. 11 we still are.”"@en }
