Abstract
Artifactual memory is an evocative idea that is used occasionally in writings about architecture, museum studies and book history. In architecture and museum studies, it refers to the preservation of collective memory by the examination of the material culture of the past (Wiederspahn, 1999; Chronis 2006). In a discussion of interactive museum exhibits, Althinodoros Chronis (2006) uses the term in relation to ideas of embodiment and sensory memory.
