An interdisciplinary group of graduate students taking DHUM 78000-2 Digital Memories: Theory and Practice in the Spring 2022 semester share their professional insights into various digital memory projects as a way to develop critical evaluation skills (theoretical and practical) of work happening across the digital landscape. Alongside learning about new digital fields of inquiry while conducting reviews, students also began laying down the foundation for their own digital research projects. This open-access Manifold publication includes all of the reviews we've written, a co-written introduction from the editors outlining the framework this volume utilizes, teaching/pedagogical resources for instructors who want to replicate this work, and suggestions for future curators. Using Miriam Posner’s “How Did They Make That?” video as a base, reviewers share their insights, as well as their personal interests and various knowledges that show up in their writing as they enter this space via a set of positionality statements. We hope you enjoy Digital Memory Project Reviews, Volume II.

Disclaimer: Histories are entangled, and as such, many of these projects could fall into more than just one of these categories. They are sorted as such to help users find the digital projects they’re looking for specific to the subject, but it is important to remember that many of us live within compounding marginalized identities on the basis of race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, citizenship and more.
