The 9/11 Memorial Museum offers an online, digital database serving as a hub for visual art, poetry and music created in response to the attacks of September 11, 2001.

Available through our website, the Artists Registry aims to serve as a resource for the artistic community, scholars, journalists and the interested public. The registry is not formally curated by our staff.

The registry contains a range of works from novices to artistic professionals, with pieces that aim to seek normalcy and express difficult emotions during a tragic time.

To join the registry, you must first create an account here. You will then be able to create your personal Artists Registry profile. An active email address is required.

Members of FDNY Ladder Company 3, located in Manhattan’s East Village, bravely responded to the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. Led by decorated Captain Patrick “Paddy” John Brown, Ladder Company 3 asked a dispatcher to deploy its members to the disaster. Eleven of them, many of whom had just gone off duty after finishing their overnight shifts, entered the North Tower.

The rear mount aerial truck was parked on West Street near Vesey Street. When the North Tower collapsed, the truck was damaged beyond repair, with its entire front cab destroyed.

A bumper and back door panel were later removed from the rig and placed on display as a memorial in Ladder Company 3’s quarters on East 13th Street in Manhattan. The inscription "Jeff We Will Not Forget You!" was painted on the panel by a firefighter related to Jeffrey John Giordano, one of the 11 Ladder Company 3 members who perished that day.
