Memory institution

Memory institution

A memory institution is a metaphor used about a repositorie of public knowledge (RPK), a generic term used about institutions such as libraries, archives, museums, clearinghouses, electronic databases and dataarchives which serves as memories for given societies or mankind. Increasingly are such institutions considered as a part of more general documentation/-information science perspectives.

Michael Buckland (2011) wrote: "Progress can be made towards a coherent, unified view of the roles of archives, libraries, museums, online information services, and related organizations if they are treated as information-providing services.
