Welcome to Living-Memory.org - the site dedicated to information about the Living Memory (LiMe) project. Through this site, we hope to offer a glimpse into the key ideas of this project, and hopefully explore further concepts from this program in the future.

Living Memory was a fascinating project sponsored by the European Commission (i3) and was developed by a consortium of five partners between 1997 and 2000, which addressed the research domain of Intelligent Information Interfaces (i3). The programme for i3 was aimed at the broad population, and seeked to create novel interaction paradigms for interacting with various information. Here you will find information about what the Living Memory project was, who was involved, as well as a deeper exploration of concepts including interviews with relevant figures involved in the project.

The partners involved in the Living Memory project were: Philips International in Eindhoven, Queen Margaret College, Edinburgh, Domus Academy, Milan, Imperial College, in London, and the Sorbonne University in Paris.

Living Memory provided members of a selected community who lived and worked in a particular locality or neighbourhood with a means to capture, share, and explore their collective memory with the aim to interpret, as well as preserve the richness and complexity of local culture. As you can imagine, this was certainly an incredible concept.
