WHAT IS THE MSA?
The Memory Studies Association was launched symbolically at its inaugural conference in Amsterdam (3-5 December 2016). It was legally registered on June, 26, 2017. The MSA aims to be a professional association for Memory Studies scholars, as well as those who are active in museums, memorial institutions, archives, the arts and other fields engaged in remembrance.
