History archive unveiled

NORTH Edinburgh Social History Group will be giving demonstrations on its Never Give Up online archive at Granton and Muirhouse libraries next month.

The social history group spent three years researching the area’s proud history of community activism, amassing a huge volume of material in the process.

The group’s Never Give Up book received great reviews when it launched last year, and all the background information – and a lot of material that didn’t make the book due to size constraints – was digitised and launched online by charity Scran in April.

Members will be visiting local libraries to publicise and demonstrate the resource next month – at Muirhouse on September 6 from 10am and then at Granton on September 12 from 1pm.
