DESCRIPTION:This paper combines oral history and material culture approach
 es to consider how former colonial officials who served in Africa (now mos
 tly in their eighties and nineties) remember and memorialise colonial enco
 unters within their contemporary homes. Many continue to live among coloni
 al-era objects brought back upon their return from colonial territories. M
 y research uses these objects to explore the confluence of memory\, nostal
 gia and domestic display in shaping post-colonial narratives of empire and
  perpetuating forms of colonial knowledge in the present.
