Computer Science majors at Berea College launched a new branch of the Memory Museum project focused on exploring the views and experiences of amateur personal historians positioned as co-designers.
Supported by the Undergraduate Research and Creative Projects Program (URCPP), we learned about research ethics, qualitative methodology, participatory design, human-computer interaction (HCI) and computer-supported qualitative work (CSCW).
With our mentor, Dr. Lydia Stamato (Postdoctoral Research Fellow advised by Dr. Jasmine Jones), we put our learning into practice and became experienced co-design workshop facilitators and qualitative data analysts with a sensitivity to diverse family memory practices.

We are pleased to present our early findings in the form of a research poster. The poster will be presented at the Berea Undergraduate Research and Internship Symposium (BURIS) in Fall 2026.
