Abstract

Memorialising allows communities to commemorate or honour anything of significance, especially after tragic events which result in a large number of fatalities. This project will explore the use of day-to-day content of a digital nature to determine the role it can play in memorialising for communities. This could be content created of and by the deceas ed or survivors. It may also have been created be fore, during or after the disaster. Examples of relevant content could include digital photos, emails, mobile phone content and even social networking pages. The research approach will usea "Black Saturday" bus hfire affected township in Victoria. Australia as a vehicle to 1. develop and deploy a memorial and 2. explore the role this day-to-day content may have in memorialising for the community.
