River Park Programme Interpretation - Community Archive Workshop (Methil)

Join us for a hands-on Digital Archive Workshop and learn how to add your own stories, photographs, memories and historical materials to the digital community archive. Attend a session in Leven or Methil: 📅 Wednesday 18 November 2026 📍 The Centre, Leven | 11am–1pm 📍 Methil Heritage Centre | 2pm–4pm Whether you have a collection of old photographs, stories passed down through generations or simply an interest in local history and heritage, we'd love you to get involved! Workshop outline: • Introduction to River Park Stories: A brief overview of the RP project, including the planned interpretation across the River Park, the different ways stories will be shared, and the key heritage themes. • Showcase Community involvement: Share the River Park Stories map and examples of previous Lead the Way activities, highlighting how they have influenced the project and the stories being told. • Exploring the digital archive: A walkthrough of the online platform, demonstrating how local people and visitors can use it to discover stories, photographs and heritage information. • Adding content: A step-by-step tutorial showing participants how to upload a simple piece of content, such as a photograph with a caption. • Guided time for participants to add their own content to the archive, with support available throughout. What we'd like participants to bring: • Something to share: One or more local heritage stories, photographs, memories, documents or other archive materials they'd like to add to the platform. We'll also provide some example materials for anyone who doesn't have something of their own. • Their own laptop or digital device if possible: A laptop, tablet or smartphone they can use to access the website and upload content. We'll bring a small number of devices for those who need them, but it would be great if participants could use their own, particularly as we'll be working in the Heritage Centre. • For more information, contact [email protected] or call 0141 674 2349
