Sites of Memory was a map-based digital memorial that relinked events to specific locations within New York City, featuring a website, live events, podcasts, and walking tours for smartphones, exploring fascinating but forgotten tales embedded in the urban environment.

Browsing a map, users could collect marked points of interest (each with a text, an image, and an associated audio file), download tours to their phones, and visit sites of memory throughout the city while listening to audio narration by Kurt Andersen, Lewis H. Lapham, and Lucy Sante.

When Google changed the way its map API worked a few years ago, things no longer functioned properly. Sites of Memory, sadly, is but a memory. These days, you can still find bits of it on the Wayback Machine.
