Local history society of Edinburgh, Scotland From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Old Edinburgh Club is a local history society of the city of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. The Club is one of the oldest history societies in Scotland, inaugurated in 1908[1] and was established to collect textual evidence of Edinburgh’s history and local traditions: objectives which remain to this day.[2] Its first honorary president was the former Prime Minister, Archibald Primrose, the 5th Earl of Rosebery.
The Club coordinates a series of lectures throughout the year on a range of Edinburgh-themes topics and publishes the annual journal, the Book of the Old Edinburgh Club. Further visits and guided walks are organised for members[3] and, additionally, grants and bursaries are awarded to scholars for projects[4] and collaborations[5] relating to Edinburgh’s history.
The OEC is a member of the Scottish Local History Forum,[6] and of the British Association for Local History.[7] It is registered as a charity by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator.
