The research project will study ordinary people’s practices of doing personal memory work, the forms and the materials they use therefore. It will focus on the practical aspects of collecting, maintaining, and retrieving personal remembrances, as well as the meanings given to the personal memory work. The expected results shall create a typology of individuals’ memory modalities since a variation across people of different lifestyle groups, ages, and social backgrounds can be supposed.
