calling to mind
Summoning a memory
Calling to mind is the act of remembering or evoking something: The photograph called to mind our summer in Greece.
It suggests deliberate retrieval rather than spontaneous recollection, and often implies that one thing triggers memory of another: Her voice called to mind my grandmother's.
