Welcome to the Living Memory Association

We are a charity that believes that reminiscence brings people together. Through sharing memories, we discover what makes each life unique and what we all share.

The Wee Museum of Memory

Our main home is The Wee Museum of Memory in Edinburgh. This unique, hands-on museum is open every day: 10:30 am–4:00 pm on weekdays and 11:00 am–4:00 pm on weekends.

We’re also proud to welcome visitors to our West Lothian branch in Livingston, where you can enjoy even more opportunities to share memories.

Thelma Podcast

We launched Thelma Podcast in March 2019 as a platform for sharing stories, memories, and voices from both past and present.

Initially combining archive recordings with music from our extensive collection of donated 78s, the podcast has evolved to spotlight reminiscence stories inspired by our community projects.

Tune in and discover the memories that bring us together.
