The Joint Bibliography is a collaborative project of the Slow Memory COST Action. Each Working Group collects relevant literature and adds them to their Zotero specific library. You can see all entries displayed below, or search for a specific Working Group. This project will be continuously updated and refined; the items in this collection will be gradually annotated.
