I just wanted to check to see if my understanding of the difference between 省みる and 顧みる is correct. One of my new kanji is 顧, so it seems a good time to ask.

The first is for self-reflection, while the latter is about thinking about the past of other things and in a more objective manner, right?

For example,
昨日、ドラえもんをみて、子どものころを省みたよ。
vs.
入学式で:桜美林大学の歴史を顧みましょう。
