In preparation for my second candidacy exam (Texts and Technology PhD program, UCF), I am opening my list and notes for interested readers. The items in this collection represent practical and theoretical issues that address the formation of archives and cultural memory, in general. Each text, of course, can be related to any other on a myriad of levels and I am in the beginning stages of reading and discovering these relationships. If you would like to offer advice or suggestions, please offer a comment or two.
