Orlando Memory is the stories of Orlando, told by its people.

Orlando Memory is based on the kete project from New Zealand.  A kete is a Maori basket woven from strips of flax.  Together, we can create a knowledge basket that contains the social and economic history of central Florida.  With your help, Orlando Memory will become a mosaic of collections that evolves from our local heritage and traditions.  The contents of our baskets are collected and cataloged by the community.
