Hedge Funds During Times of Crisis

Hello! I am writing a research paper for my school, and was wondering if I could get some primary sources on the hedge fund industry during times of crisis (i.e. 2008, or the dot com bubble). Would love to conduct an interview and ask a few questions to anyone in the industry with any knowledge on this front!
