Participant accounts

A participant can contribute an annotation, explanation, recollection, correction, response to an authored interpretation. Staff record the author, timing, prompt, scope, permission. They distinguish an immediate statement from a later recollection and retain relevant changes.

A visitor may initially describe technical curiosity, later explain a family association. The conversation itself may contribute further meaning. Staff can compare these accounts with observed activity while preserving their respective sources. The participant's explanation supplies context without necessarily exhausting every circumstance of the act.

Voluntary contributions can provide useful memory with limited instrumentation. Richer sessions can also benefit from participant review. Meaning, review, memory comparison examine the relation among these layers. Staff need a clear contribution procedure for spoken, written, assisted, digital participation.
