NPR Journalist Creates Digital Archive to Preserve January 6th Capitol Attack Records

Half a decade has passed since rioters breached the United States Capitol building in an attempt to halt the certification process for the presidential election results. NPR journalist Tom Dreisbach has been working to create a comprehensive digital collection that captures the timeline of events leading up to, occurring during, and following that unprecedented assault on the nation’s seat of government.

The initiative represents an effort to maintain historical documentation of these pivotal moments in American democracy for researchers, historians, and citizens in years to come.
