People left flowers, stuffed animals, flags, running shoes, and other items to remember the victims. Many of those mementos were collected by archivists, and now some of them are displayed in an exhibit called 'Dear Boston: Messages from the Marathon Memorial' at the Boston Public Library, which is just metres from where the bombing took place. Curator Rainey Tisdale discussed the exhibit with Al Jazeera's Anar Virji. At Al Jazeera English, we focus on people and events that affect people's lives.
