Memory institutions

Memory institutions refer to organizations dedicated to preserving cultural heritage and collective memory, such as libraries, museums, archives, and historical societies. These institutions collect, maintain, and provide access to documents, artifacts, and information that reflect a community's history and identity. By doing so, they play a vital role in education, research, and the conservation of knowledge over time, ensuring that future generations can understand and learn from the past. They serve both as guardians of history and as resources for individuals seeking knowledge about their culture and the world.
