At Virginia Tech, nine enterprising students were granted a small window to view more than 6,000 pages of documents related to last year's horrific campus shootings that led to the deaths of more than 30 people.

Given two days to cull through the documents, the students scanned the documents and created The Prevail Archive.

Some documents, like talking points given to university leaders lest they drift off a tightly-controlled message, are fascinating. Others, like copies of the hundreds of phone messages that streamed in following the tragedy, can be mundane, like the dozens of interview requests coming from as far away as Israel.

But others are touching - like the woman who called because she wanted to send a package to all the parents who lost a child in the shootin, or the inquiry by the principal at Colorado's Columbine High School to send along a banner, presumably as a show of support.
