The issues of contested memory and the coexistence of different perspectives on history became visible in the modern world. The process of reviewing the past targeted and opened up issues people still cannot agree on. Besides, it inevitably touched physical representations of memory, for example, memorials and monuments. Now we see several cases of such conflicts: Soviet monuments in Baltic countries, Confederate monuments in the United States, etc. The idea is to show a full picture. The aim is to combine historical, cultural and urban data and through information technologies to present memorial heritage data of the monuments of St. Petersburg. This way it is possible to systematise memorial data and provide access to it through interactive visualisation.
