Abstract

This chapter examines the use of digital repositories, libraries, and archives that serve as the collective memory of humanity. American Memory, Global Gateway, Memory of the World and the World Digital Library are discussed as technological sources for cultural and global learning as well as contributing to the perseveration and transmission of cultural heritage. The focus of the study is to demonstrate how these technological marvels can be utilized by educators to prepare learners for a global, diverse, and technological world. Despite problems with memory, access, and engagement, these digital repositories can be effectively used in the classroom if these underlying issues are dealt with. The chapter will also share data from a pilot study that sheds light on how American Memory, Global Gateway, Memory of the World and their underlying issues are dealt with in actual practice and implementation
