Scenario

When family members disagree on organizing inherited intellectual materials

My brother and I inherited our father's massive collection of notebooks and we're trying to digitize them into some kind of coherent system, but we remember different stories about the same events and keep disagreeing about how to tag or categorize his thoughts. It's becoming less about preserving his intellectual legacy and more about whose version of family history is 'correct.'

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Attempting to preserve someone's knowledge reveals how memory and meaning are constructed differently by each person who shared that relationship.
