Digital media have a significant impact on how individuals and groups relate to their own as well as shared memories. Digital and online memorialisation has the potential to connect a greater number of disparate agents across physical place boundaries. Using the case study of an online mapping project recording women’s migration experiences, this article finds that digital media are indeed used to challenge established place narratives and contest an exclusionary sense of place. This online memory mapping is intended to connect personal memories of local areas across group and place boundaries. Thematic tagging serves as a tool to connect local memories globally. However, these attempts are situated within an unequal society, where resources, time and digital skills are not equally available to all. Offline power relations and social location are thus found to be constitutive of the making of online memory maps and to hinder democratised memory-making of place.

数字媒体对个人和团体如何与他们自己的以及共享的记忆相关联有重大影响。数字和在线纪念有可能跨越物理地点边界连接更多不同的代理人。使用记录女性移民经历的在线地图项目的案例研究，本文发现数字媒体确实被用来挑战既定的地方叙事并挑战一种排他性的地方感。这种在线记忆映射旨在跨群体和地点边界连接本地区域的个人记忆。主题标签是一种连接全球本地记忆的工具。然而，这些尝试发生在一个不平等的社会中，资源、时间和数字技能并非人人都能平等获得。
