Craigmillar Now, a new arts and heritage centre based in Craigmillar, Edinburgh, is in the process of creating the first publicly-accessible, community-led Craigmillar archive. This community-built project aims to preserve, care for, and celebrate Craigmillar's history as part of a wider programme of regeneration, and seeks enthusiastic volunteers to aid in collecting, cataloguing, and promoting the archive's growing collections.
Mondays from 10am - 5pm, with free lunch included!
We are a community-led cultural organisation committed to creating access to arts and local heritage in Greater Craigmillar.
