Before It Disappears: An Online Archive for Culture and Memory
Cultural memory is often fragile because it depends on objects, places, voices, images, and personal recollections that may not survive urban change or generational transition.

Living Landmarks: A Digital Guide for Landmarks and Local Memory
This project focuses on tourism experiences at different sites and landmarks. Although a great deal of information is already available online, many visitors still receive only basic information from signs, plaques, or short on-site descriptions unless they deliberately search for more.
