With the advent of the Internet however, a new space, or cyberspace, allows the living to remember the dead in geographically diverse and interactive ways. Using a unique model based on the motivations and characteristics of physical memorials, this paper investigates how one part of cyberspace, the Web, is used for memorialisation practice. It also attempts to discover why memorialisation may have been adopted online, in addition to possible links between the remembrance of the dead in the physical space and online, before finally discussing the Web as a collective memorial landscape.

Consequently, as the Internet influences the many aspects of everyday lives, hobbyist interests in areas such as history have also been enhanced and changed by the Internet as a social technology. One hobby, genealogy, has risen above all to be one of the most popular online, providing an opportunity to understand the use of the Internet within a broader context. As a result, the author has commenced a PhD research program with Curtin University of Technology, Australia, to examine how genealogists use the Internet, and to investigate the consequences of the development of genealogy as a significant Internet-based activity. The purposed of this article, therefore, is to present the research notes of the study.

Personal and organisational sharing of free information, products and software continues to flourish as a circle of gifts for returned intangible reward. Though a perceived lack of these rewards, due in part to an inability to quantify them, has resulted in givers seeking more for their efforts. What are their revised motivations? What now are their rewards? Confronted with this development, I suggest their rewards are voluntary payments as forms of tangible reciprocity. This paper therefore outlines the Internet as a gift economy. It suggests a conceptual path through gift economy principles to reveal voluntary payments as tangible reciprocity. It also documents an analysis of voluntary payment schemes as evidence of operationalising tangible reciprocity. I also introduce monetary, content and purpose gifting mechanisms as tangible reciprocity.

Community links are created out of choice, for enjoyment, sharing, and for dialogs of interest, though also created through necessity. The general pool of genealogical knowledge and resources are usually so large and diverse, no one genealogist could know it all; hence a community of information as support is required. Before the communication options available today however, informal and formal community links and communications of choice or necessity were often time-consuming and slow.

As part of a new strategic priority Queensland Memory: Today for tomorrow, State Library commissioned a QUT research team to prepare this scoping document, which examines the current family history services and investigates the establishment of an in-house Family History Centre. The report is designed to create a fresh vision of how personal, community and family history services could be integrated within the mission and brand identity of State Library of Queensland to create a centre of excellence focused around the connections between personal histories, lifelong learning and public knowledge, via the strengths of the SLQ collections and the expertise of its staff.
It provides concrete suggestions for innovative implementation ideas that will realise the clear potential of family history research and related services to bring together the most important current and future aspects of what a 21st century library is and does.

Genealogy is the science of studying family origins, generally utilizing pedigrees. A genealogist is, at the very minimum, one who collects vital statistics about birth, marriage, and death events and organizes these facts into pedigree charts and family trees. The hobby can be a personal endeavour and social phenomenon; though it is also extremely methods- and learningbased; a fact-finding and information-seeking pursuit requiring knowledge in family structures, life records, history, and methods."
