尽管最近人们对集体记忆产生了兴趣，但现代的“百年纪念崇拜”却被历史学家忽视了。 1850 年之前，对重要事件或名人的百年纪念活动很少见，但此后无论是在英国还是整个西方世界，纪念活动的数量和规模都迅速增加。百年纪念活动最初源于新古典文化，但此后，其特征随着新的政治经济和社会发展而演变。百年庆典是当代尊重的晴雨表，反映了大众和精英对过去和现在的态度。百年英雄被不同程度地视为世俗圣人、国家偶像和当地旅游景点。一些纪念活动产生了持久的影响，这种做法至今仍然很流行。
Despite recent interest in collective memory, the modern ‘cult of the centenary’ has been neglected by historians. Centennial commemorations of important events or famous people were rare before 1850, but thereafter they increased rapidly in number and scale, both in Britain and throughout the Western world. Centenary commemorations initially grew out of neo-classical culture, but thereafter, their character evolved in response to new political economic and social developments. Centenary celebrations were a barometer of contemporary esteem and reflected popular and elite attitudes to both the past and the present. Centennialized heroes were variously regarded as secular saints, national icons and local tourist attractions. Some commemorations had a lasting influence and the practice still remains popular today.
