DIGBY
Memory Bank 2 – Digitising Borders Local History (The DIGBY Project)
The Memory Bank received further funding as part of a larger partnership project - Resources for Learning in Scotland, (RLS) lead by the National Libraries of Scotland and administered through SCRAN, which received a grant from the New Opportunities Fund’s digitisation programme.
The DIGBY Project digitised and archived records from photographs, text and audio that were
- valued by the community at large
- of educational value
- at risk of being lost
- add value to the existing Memory Bank resources in terms of augmenting an already high quality heritage resource

- Bands in the Borders
- Berwickshire Naturalists
