The study of memory cultures often foregrounds the recovery of denied historical truths, with the recognition that social and cultural norms not only shape canonical versions of the past, but continue to be complicit in legitimised forms of forgetting and erasure. This article investigates the intersections between personal archives and other forms of cultural expression in acts of collective memoralization and forgetting. Using the personal archives of Josephine Diebitsch-Peary, the research introduces the concept of coloniality to studying Arctic memory cultures by examining the role of gender in the context of Arctic exploration. The article concludes that an understanding of the coloniality of knowledge and its connections to epistemic violence is crucial to the study of memory and historical legacy in the Arctic.

对记忆文化的研究往往将恢复被否认的历史真相作为重点，承认社会和文化规范不仅塑造了过去的规范版本，而且继续成为遗忘和擦除的合法形式的同谋。本文研究了个人档案与其他形式的文化表达在集体记忆和遗忘行为中的交叉点。该研究利用 Josephine Diebitsch-Peary 的个人档案，通过考察性别在北极探索背景下的作用，将殖民概念引入北极记忆文化的研究中。文章的结论是，了解知识的殖民性及其与认知暴力的联系对于研究北极的记忆和历史遗产至关重要。
