Collective memory has been defined as them emories shared by a community, which have an impact in the formation of its identity. Its sources include cultural memory, composed by cultural artifacts, and communicative memory, transmitted through everyday interactions. Other variables that have been studied in relation to collective memory include generational belonging and ideology. This study aimed to examine the role of the source of collective memory (cultural and communicative), generational belonging (lived and distant memories) and ideology (right and left-wing) in the recall of the actors of the 1976 coup d´état and the 2001 economic crisis in Argentina. One hundred and thirty-two participants completed a free-recall task on one of these two events. Results showed that participants with cultural and distant memory, and leftwing ideology recalled a higher proportion of actors. Results also indicated that when participants had cultural memory, differences between generational and ideological groups emerged.
