This paper describes the activities promoted between 2019 and 2021 by the research units participating in the research project «School Memories between Social Perception and Collective Representation (Italy, 1861-2001)», which aims to study school memory as a practice of individual remembrance or collective and public commemoration of a common school past through the creation of the web portal www.memoriascolastica.it and eight databases relating to the multiple forms of school memory. The project aims to socialize research results with a broader community and to experiment with new forms of scientific communication, available free of charge online, according to the open science policy at the center of the new European Framework Programme for research and innovation (2021-2027).
