Abstract
Online environments provide public spaces for expressing, sharing and working through experiences of trauma and crisis. New communities are created and new kinds of records and histories are produced. What happens when private trauma is made public? What does online commemoration achieve? What kinds of communities are created and how are these different from physical communities? This paper investigates these questions with reference to recent examples.
