Craigmillar Now: A Worldwide Web

Craigmillar Now will employ a Digital Heritage Coordinator and freelance digital specialists to work alongside and train their volunteer heritage team to create a digital database for the Craigmillar Now archive. By the end of the project the catalogue and 10,000 objects in the organisation’s care will be available to view online for the very first time. A further 15,000 objects will be digitised. The project will expand the range of skills participants on Craigmillar Now’s innovative, heritage-led adult education programme can gain, and widen access to the collections in Craigmillar Now’s care. The legacy of this project will be that Craigmillar’s history is more secure, accessible and better known, and the local caretakers of this heritage have the skills to manage and maintain the database long-term.
