Connecticuts 9/11 Memorial Library ![]() This archival collection honors the lives of Connecticuts 152 victims. Each binder has photographs, information, and materials pertaining to the life of a victim.
People who have stories to tell about 9/11 their thoughts, emotions, rememberances, and experiences were collected and documented.
Soon after 9/11, the East Brooklyn, CT, Fire Department painted this sign and posted it outside their fire station to help raise money for a relief fund. In October 2006, they generously donated the sign to the CHS.
