10 years of Colourful Heritage, Centuries of History.
From 18th-century lascars to academics, community councillors to MSPs, the South Asian story in Scotland is as rich as it is long. Colourful Heritage started a decade ago as a question among friends: “Without a mention in the history books, how do we capture the stories of our elders for future generations?”
A free multimedia archive containing hundreds of inspiring first-hand video interviews, a major museum exhibition with over 40,000 annual visitors, a schools education resource pack, an expansive digital timeline, one official library collection later and much more – that question has only started to be answered. Many exciting discoveries have been made but there is still a lot more to capture and preserve.
