Hey Guys,
I would like to start off my saying that the film, Objects and Memory did a great job in
portraying how public historians preserve current history. The film was very touching
and showed how many people associate various objects to their memory of lost
friends, spouses, parents and associates. After thinking about this post for a
week or so, I’ve decided to share a little of my personal life with the class.
Last year, around October, one of my friends Adam died in a motorcycle accident.
Days after his passing, friends and people he touched began depositing items of
remembrance outside his house. These pictures are perfect examples of what objects
and memory is and how it is collected not by historians, but by the community.
