'''Institutional memory''' is a collective set of [[fact]]s, [[concept]]s, [[experience]]s and [[know-how]] held by a group of people. As it transcends the individual, it requires the ongoing transmission of these memories between members of this group. Elements of institutional memory may be found in [[corporation]]s, [[professional group]]s, [[government body|government bodies]], [[religious group]]s, [[academic collaboration]]s and by extension in entire [[culture]]s.
