Documenting Family Information and the Curation of Life Histories explores different information behaviours and information practices related to family memory as enacted in families all over the world demonstrating such process promotes meaning-making and identity formation.

Drawing on the expertise and personal experience of those working in the fields of information science, history, cultural literacies, digital humanities, and social sciences, this edited volume explores how people preserve family histories and face the challenges, including technological, population movement and aging, that threaten the longevity of these stories. Chapters include theoretical, empirical, and observational contributions, case studies, along with autoethnographic narratives, and explore a diverse range of family information behaviours and practices from around the world. Presenting information engagements and practices within families, including oral history traditions, documents, artefacts, personal and family archives, and digital inheritance, the volume contributes to the literature of family information practices through the lens of human information behaviour and related theories.
