1. Collective memory

   Collective memory refers to the shared pool of information held in the memories of two or more members of a group. Both the English phrase and its French equivalent appeared in various contexts in the second half of the nineteenth century. The philosopher and sociologist Maurice Halbwachs analyzed and advanced the concept in his book La mémoire collective. Collective memory can be shared, passed on and constructed by groups both small and large. In many ways, collective memory parallels individual memory, but also exhibits some key differences and features.
