How we remember and give meaning to the past are creative processes; we take fragments and try to knit them together into something approaching a logical flow. In personal terms, memory is always a reconstruction from the myriad moments of experience, forced by psychological dynamics into some form of narrative. History as a social process tries to stand back from the personal, to make sense of it against a broader fabric. It may include the personal stories of participants, but it will always be set in the political and social time in which it is articulated. History is therefore both a social science, in terms of methodological approaches, and a humanities discipline, in terms of its synthesis of emotional, aesthetic and intellectual responses. How individuals remember events will inevitably be more partial yet more intense than a more overarching account of the events, so that capturing individual memory into the form of digital capsules will in some senses sit against attempts to build digital historical narratives — although perhaps the possibilities of digital history can draw audiences closer to comprehending the tensions between the historian and the participant’s interpretations of events than earlier more linear accounts
