Reminiscence and Oral History in Edinburgh
The Living Memory Association was established in 1984. It is an Edinburgh based group that aims to bring people together through reminiscence and oral history work. We encourage people to become actively involved in their community, share their memories, learn from one another, feel valued and respected, and give their knowledge of the past to younger generations. From these memories, and from other materials, we have produced books, magazines, displays and exhibitions. We have a photographic archive and have also been involved in video-making and drama projects. We offer training in oral history reminiscence and related work, such as interviewing techniques, copyright and ethical issues, working with dementia, use of prompting materials and handling boxes, and Information Technology. We involve volunteers throughout our work and there contribution is vital to the project. We offer many exciting opportunities to volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. We have our own reminiscence centre at our premises and continue to work extensively in the community. We offer a digitisation and transcription service and can design and print exhibition panels up to A1 size. Our major piece of current work is The Memory Bank Project supported by The Big Lottery Fund. If you like the sound of the work and would like to know more about any aspect of it, please contact us. |
