The DAD War & Peace Symposium is organised together with Dover Museum. Memorialisation is the process of preserving memories of people or events or places, both physically and virtually. Memorialisation involves heritage, memory and identity. How can we manage heritage in a meaningful way? What kind of memorials are fitting? Who or what is being memorialised and how? Who is not included? What forms can memorialisation take? This one-day symposium, taking place as it does in Dover, is particularly relevant with Dover now at a crossroads regarding its future heritage development: with much discussion around the proposed developments at Farthingloe and the Western Heights and controversy around the proposal for a National World War II War Memorial, the Dover Virtual War Memorial project, the sale of part of the White Cliffs of Dover and of the Port of Dover.
