Mind The Gap: Social Divisions In History And Memory Of The Great War, Erin Schill
Mind The Gap: Social Divisions In History And Memory Of The Great War, Erin Schill
The Thetean: A Student Journal for Scholarly Historical Writing
History and memory are both constuctions of the past. They are formed in distinct ways, however; thus the respective "pasts" created are also distinct. On one hand, a "history" is a representation of a past time, interpreted from documents and materials surviving from that era. A "memory," on the other hand, is a perception of a past event with relation to present circumstances. While history attempts to depict the past objectively and with accuracy, memory evaluates the past's significance to the lives of modern individuals.

Mormons On The Warfront: The Protestant Mormons And Catholic Mormons Of Northern Ireland, Claudia W. Harris
Mormons On The Warfront: The Protestant Mormons And Catholic Mormons Of Northern Ireland, Claudia W. Harris
BYU Studies Quarterly
The conflict in Northern Ireland between Catholics and Protestants places Mormons, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in an impossibly difficult position, being shunned by both sides. Claudia Harris tells of her research in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland in the 1980s, staying the homes of Mormons and hearing of their experiences. Many Mormons were serving in various security forces and thus were paramilitary targets. Harris tells the stories and explores the cultural mindset of Irish Mormons.
