Students taking DHUM 78000-1 Digital Memories: Theory and Practice in the Spring 2021 semester have written reviews of digital memory projects as a way to develop critical evaluation skills of work happening in our field. In examining how other projects are built, we've also learned how to create new projects. This open-access Manifold publication includes all of the reviews we've written, as well as an introduction explaining the pedagogical rationale for including such activities in a course syllabus and the rationale behind how the projects were selected. The introduction also discusses themes and explains how the publication is presented, including a disclaimer about the changing nature of digital environments. Each of our reviews has been written with Miriam Posner’s “How Did They Make That?” video in mind, listing the sources, processes, and presentation for the project. In a self-reflexive turn, our introduction details how we made this project.
