This is a list of the publishing information for articles that I found from Historical Abstracts that looked good or provided good looking models on interpretation of memorials. The actual subjects are not so important, but the articles talk about the meanings of memory at the sites and how the meanings have changed over time.
Gold, John R. and Gold, Margaret M. "The Graves of the Gallant Highlanders: Memory, Interpretation and Narratives of Culloden." History & Memory 2007 19(1): 5-38 34p. Schleifman, Nurit. "MOSCOW'S VICTORY PARK: A MONUMENTAL CHANGE." History & Memory 2001 13(2): 5-34 30p. Gordon, Robert S. C. "The Holocaust in Italian Collective Memory: 'Il Giorno Della Memoria,' 27 January 2001." Modern Italy 2006 11(2): 167-188 22p. Besley, Joanna. "At the Intersection of History and Memory: Monuments in Queensland." Limina 2005 11. Rountree, Kathryn.

I'm looking forward to the readings ahead. Is there a list posted somewhere of the top texts on monuments?
