- 620 label "Connecting Collective Memory and Community Resilience: A Case Study of Anaconda, Montana" assertion.
- 620 comment "Post-industrial communities across the world are transitioning from industrial economies and identities to an uncertain future. Their successful transitions depend on communities’ abilities to navigate change and maintain a quality of life, or their community’s resilience. Previous scholarship offers resources and capabilities that facilitate or inhibit community resilience such as leadership, social capital, and information. However, collective memory is not well integrated within the community resilience literature. Drawing on data from interviews with 33 community leaders in the town of Anaconda, Montana, we illuminate the impact of collective memory on community resilience. The AnacondaSmelter Stack stands out as a specific landmark and prominent feature of the built environment that perpetuates particular collective memories in Anaconda. We find that collective memory is an integral part of community resilience, where memories can aid in a community’s recovery and rebuilding or constrain thinking and divide viewpoints. We argue that ignoring collective memory’s connections to resilience can undermine efforts to face changes in these communities. Keywords: Community resilience, collective memory, post-industrial towns, mining A 2023 study of Anaconda, Montana, explores how a community's "collective memory" of its industrial past—symbolized by the iconic 585-foot Smelter Stack—impacts its ability to transition to a new future. Researchers found that while these shared memories can be a source of pride and a "galvanizing force" for recovery, they can also act as a constraint that divides viewpoints and makes it harder for the town to embrace new economic paths like tourism. The study concludes that ignoring these deep emotional ties to history can undermine efforts to build community resilience, suggesting that successful transitions in post-industrial towns require cleanups and development plans that are "historically informed" and respect the community's lived experiences.
