One of the main purposes of the online archive, Edinburgh Collected, is not only to help build the city’s digital collections, but to give everyone the opportunity to add their own images and memories to the site.
People lodge photos of their ancestors, school and childhood photos, others put on images of the ever-changing surroundings of their own neighbourhood.
One of the members of staff has taken some photos of the demolition of the former Royal Bank of Scotland building on Dundas Street.
You can see them all in a new scrapbook on Edinburgh Collected
