Abstract
This project explores two digital memory technologies: digital memory banks, particularly the Hurricane Digital Memory Bank (HDMB), and Documenting the Now (DocNow), a tool that allows archivists and researchers the ability to collect, analyze, and preserve Twitter messages and other web resources. Ultimately, this project works to develop an understanding of how these specific tools approach and “do” memory work. Both tools animate memory work in distinct, and particular ways, thereby demonstrating how memory both produces and enacts relations across time and space. The primary method of this project is the rhetorical analysis of digital memory practices, and the project works to demonstrate how practices of memory have become part and parcel of digital media technologies.
