remembrancers
Tokens of recollection
Remembrancers are people or things that serve as reminders.
A remembrancer keeps something in memory or prompts others to remember: The photograph was a remembrancer of happier times.
In British usage, a Remembrancer is an official title—the King's Remembrancer is a senior judge, and the City Remembrancer represents the City of London's interests in Parliament.
