Y'know, I'm a bit ashamed to say it, but I haven't spent a whole lot of time diving into the past exhibitions here at the Magnes. I'll have to take a look at those materials for that exhibition, which was in 1991, and see what was created and what came out of it. Thanks Ari!

The Magnes broke ground about 15 years ago with its first venture into this area with Abbe Don's "We Make Memories." _That_ exhibit used a _laserdisk_ with _analog_ recordings of Don's mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, and featured a scanner with which people could scan their own objects and add them to the collection. A generation later, Magnes is doing even more exciting work in collecting memories and building connections. Bravo! This is just awesome.
