I'm new to cultural memory studies, so the handbook is perfect place to start.
If there is any updated version, please, let me know, dear world of readers :)

Kakkosgraduni teorialukujen pelastus. Kattava ja monipuolinen perehdytys kulttuuriseen muistiin. Artikkelit toimivat hyvänä ponnahdusalustana omalla tutkimusintressille keskeisten keskusteluiden haltuun ottamisessa.

[Rik Smit]

Good general and rather up-to-date collection of short essays concerning different types of collective memory. It serves well as a starting point for students and researchers interested in the topic, but because it is an overview of some of the most important concepts in collective memory studies, there is not much room for extensive arguments.
