I’ve been doing some research on the differences between History and Memory and came across this article from an organization called Commonplace that chronicles the history of early American life.
One of the big quotes in this reading states, “Memory is passed down through generations, history is revised.” This led me to think about the mechanism or the system where memories are intaken and transformed into their way to history. I started to picture a Suessical type illustration or machine. Understanding this”machine” is something I might explore in the next few days.
