Edinburgh's Reminiscence Project • Established 1986

Welcome to the Living Memory Association.

We believe that reminiscence can bring people together. It’s a process of sharing, where we learn about other people’s lives. Some life experiences can be unique, others common to us all.

The Wee Museum of Memory is on the move in Ocean Terminal!

The Wee Museum of Memory will be closing its doors at its current location (second floor of Ocean Terminal) on April 2nd.
We will relocate temporarily to The Wee Play Hub on the first floor, from April 15th. See you there!

What's on

There is always something happening at The Living Memory Association!

The Wee Museum of Memory

Our home is The Wee Museum of Memory at Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre, Edinburgh. It’s something a little different, a ‘hands on museum’, open to public everyday; 10.30am-4pm weekdays and 11am-4pm weekends.
You can also find us in Livingston, at our West Lothian branch.

Thelma Podcast

We launched Thelma Podcast in March 2019. We describe them as Records and Reminiscence because that’s what it is.
A mixture of archive recordings from over the years, and music from our huge collection of donated 78 and vinyl records, so what better use can they be put to than our very own podcasts.
