Join us for CAHG Scotland Annual Gathering on the theme of Holding the Intangible – Archives, Culture & Connection
Augustine United Church, Edinburgh
20 March 2026 from 10am to 4:30pm
A special event marking the 5th anniversary of CAHG Scotland. This milestone offers us a moment to celebrate achievements, reflect on progress, and look ahead to the evolving landscape of community archives and heritage in Scotland.
Building on the success of CAHG UK & Ireland’s 2025 Conference in Huddersfield, ‘Community voices, community heritage – preserving, sharing & celebrating diverse histories and traditions’, our Scottish event will continue that spirit of collaboration and reflection. With the UK’s recent ratification of UNESCO’s Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, our proposed theme — ‘Expressing Scotland: Holding the Intangible’ — will explore how we recognise, record and sustain the living, dynamic aspects of our culture.
There will be a range of talks, performances, workshops as well as the opportunity to take part in one-minute mayhem and marketplace.
We are looking for a range of volunteers on the day - this includes helping with registration and welcoming/helping attendees. Lunch will be provided and reasonable travel costs can be reimbursed.
