Fort Collins Memory Project

I love seeing examples of MemoryMiner in use. Here’s an ongoing project (inspired by the Magnes Memory Lab), that’s going on at the Fort Collins Museum & Discovery Science Center:

More background on the project can be found here:

An interesting point that they brought up in their description of the the project is that they purposefully limited the amount of time that could be used for each story so as to “gently encourage” the participants to think carefully about which items to use as “entry points” into their life stories.

I’m very much looking forward to seeing more of their work.
