Abstract
In this presentation I will discuss some examples of children’s cultural heritage to interrogate the ways
that the past may be remembered and forgotten, and what this might mean for the role of heritage in
contemporary society. Childhood is a transitional stage in the life cycle, and is experienced in both
universal and individually unique ways. The cultural heritage of childhood is predominantly collected,
archived and interpreted by adults and the voices of children are often forgotten in that process. I will
explore children’s heritage in relation to social and cultural memory, including discussion of the
‘everyday’ forgetting (and sometimes re-remembering) of childhood.
