I added more dynamic instructions plus fixed the memory submission interface. You can also read the memories by genre. I am meeting with Jamie Moses at 10am to show him the project and talk about server space.

1. Now when you roll over a memory it alerts you that you can click to read one.
2. You can now only add one grey new memory location at a time. To delete a selected location, just click on it.
3.Fixed cloud layout problem.

I will be working on the primay doc section next but for now, the interface to add memories has been upgraded with the following features.

1. You can visit the memories on your wap enabled cell phone using the beta mobile interface at rememberbuffalo.org/wap
2. The genre select list now shows you how many other memories have been assigned to specific genres.
3. submit reports the total number of memories that have been submitted.
4. The submit page displays 10 random memories from the total pool each time you visit.
3. The code is there to search by genre although I am not releasing the intertface for it until there are more memories. Currently, we are around 20.
4. All memories must include at least a location, a title, one genre, the year(s) it occurred and a memory.
5. Memories have been limited to Buffalo proper with boundaries of the Niagara River on the westside, Tifft Farm area to the south, Kenmore Avenue to the North and Bailey Avenue to the East. These boundaries might change over time but for now I would like to focus on the city itself.

The Remember Buffalo Project is pleased to announce the map beta for the memory input engine. You can add location based memories of Buffalo using the map found by clicking on the "::submit memory beta::" link at the top of the site at

For each memory you can link up to three genres and a time period. By combining three genres you should be able to classify most memories. For ones that can't be classified you can add keywords. For example, a story about my grandmother moving to America and buying a house on the west side can be classified under the genres immigration, housing, and family.



Right now you have up to five minutes to delete memories using the same computer that you inputted them form. This system may change in the future depending on feedback.

By contributing memories you are helping us shape the future interface of the project. A project description can be foudn on the front page of the site.

The next technological development phase of the project is going to be creating a system to collect thousands of genre specific primary documents to help inspire memories. The next social development phase of the project is finding a PR person, starting to advertise and finding a grant.

If you have other suggestions for the Remember Buffalo Project please add them here or if would like to volunteer, please feel free to use the contact link at the top of the site and send us an email.

I added a decades option to the year occurred list for memories that span more than one year, or for ones you can't remember the exact year.

So check it out and add some memories to this beta . As soon as I get my other paid work done I will begin adding the primary document section.
