Just to add a couple more to your list.
Chris Healy's 'From the Ruins of Colonialism: History as Social Memory'
(Melbourne: Cambridge University Press), 1997, deals with these issues.
Also, you may want to have a look at my own doctoral thesis - J. Gore,
Representations of History and Nation in Museums in Australia and Aotearoa
New Zealand, PhD thesis, University of Melbourne, 2002. Available online at
http://eprints.unimelb.edu.au/archive/00000320/
Hope it helps.

Subject: History Museums and Memory


Hello all,

   I am doing research on the topic of museums and memory as part of my
master's degree in Museum Studies. I am particularly interested in the role
of
personal and collective memory in history museums across the globe. How can
objects, exhibitions, and programs inspire memory, imagination, feeling, and
a
sense of identity in museum visitors?
   I would greatly appreciate any information on personal experiences with
exhibits or programs related to this issue. As well, if you can think of any
relevant literature on this topic or other people interested in museums and
memory, please let me know. Thank you very much for your time, and I look
forward to hearing from you.
