New Volunteering Project Just Announced!

Our East Lothian

What memories does this photograph evoke?

Memories and stories bring our collections to life and now East Lothian Museums are aiming to capture these memories for future generations.

Our East Lothian is a website where people can share their pictures and stories of life in East Lothian, both today and in the past. The pictures may be copies of old family photographs, or pictures of objects and places, the important thing is to tell the story that go with the picture.

Get involved!

You can see a selection of photographs now on the Our East Lothian page on Flickr, the photo-sharing website. You can also upload your own photographs of East Lothian. Ideally we would like to recruit volunteers who would be interested in uploading photographs and capturing the memories behind them. We would offer training and support and would cover all your travel expenses so if you are interested please get in touch.

If you want to get involved with this project, get in touch with us by phoning 01620 828225. We are recruiting contributors now!

Our East Lothian is part of a wider project with partners in England, Italy and Hungary and is funded by the Grundtvig Lifelong Learning Programme.
