This chapter considers a collection of 35mm slides taken by the author's mother, Gerry Neely, a keen photographer, who although wanting to study photography formally, was never able to. The evening class offered at the local university, called ‘Me and My Camera', never had enough enrolments to justify running the class. This chapter will offer an account of the process of digitising the slides and sharing them with family over the last few years. Informed by what Annette Kuhn describes in her book Family Secrets as a kind of ‘memory work', the author's analysis will present a collaborative form of memory work developed from discussions with the author's mom during the pandemic about their individual interpretations and memories of the images contained within the slides, as well as her own thoughts on the process of taking, selecting, and presenting them.

“…Social media can be seen as a vast archive of photographic representations of monuments. The levels of engagement, interactivity and participatory experiences that can be offered through social media are the focus of many recent research articles and it is widely accepted that 'the ease of translation from one type of engagement to another' (Shanks & Svabo 2013) is bigger than ever before. Technoculture tells the tale.…”

Classical and contemporary monuments are widely depicted on images produced and circulated by the tourist industry. They appear on personal photographs of visited places, functioning as souvenirs on notice boards or social media profiles. This paper examines the transformations of three-dimensional monuments in two-dimensional mediating practices and their socio-cultural and media settings. Moreover, it looks at the role of such visual resources in the overall signification process of specific sites and places. This examination will consider the practices of three visual mechanisms: postcards, tourist snapshots and images circulated via the Internet and specifically through social media. The paper proposes a similar ontological characteristic between monuments and photographs: their ability to capture selected instances of time and feed or shape memory.

“…Artiklen inddrager og traekker samtidigt på en samfunds-og naturvidenskabelig orientering mod generaliserende og overbliksgivende information om behov for, omfang af og karakter af museumsformidling. Det kan kaldes for tvaervidenskabelig pragmatik (Shanks & Svabo 2013) eller en syntese af kritisk realisme og konstruktivisme.…”

Abstract: Public understanding of environmental issues is critical for the active positions we need to take as individuals and societies for transforming unsustainable to green economic activities. Museums have the potential to contribute significantly to this by communicating scientific knowledge on environmental issues. The study examines the scale and character of environmental exhibitions and collections in
