Presentazione ufficiale delle banche dati sulla memoria scolastica. A proposito del quinto seminario nazionale PRIN (Roma, 5 novembre 2021)

This paper collects and summarizes the reports proposed at the fifth national PRIN seminar that the University of Roma Tre organized on 5th November 2021 as part of the scientific activities under the research project of relevant national interest «School Memories between Social Perception and Collective Representation (Italy, 1861-2001)». The initiative aimed to illustrate the state of the art of the project in establishing electronic repertories of school memories; the databases officially presented in this occasion relate to: audiovisual products; video oral testimonies, awards of honour, public memories, art works, illustrations, literary works; school diaries and autobiographies. The seminar, as well as to make a balance of the operational results achieved, has been productive to shed further light on the historiographical category of school memory in view of the end-of-project international conference «The School and its Many Pasts».
