Prospectus for Paper

The monument for Budd Reeves located in Buxton will be an interesting subject for research on collective memory. Buxton should give a personal feeling to the research project because it is such a small town. Plenty of personal memories should be left by the monument which can help to build on a collective memory of Budd Reeves and why this particular group decided it was time to erect monument for him.
