Another must read on the subject is Lowenthal's "The Past Is A Foreign
Country" It had some really interesting chapters on various aspects of
memory. I can't find my copy right now to check (worrisome) but I think it
was published in the early 1990s.

Have you read Rosenzweig and Thelen's "The Presence of the Past: Popular
