Check out their web site for more information and images of the Forth Road Bridge being built, many other images and DVD's for sale.
If anyone has any photographs or movie film of Dunfermline from 1945 onwards could they please get in touch.
Their latest project which is Dunfermline from 1945 to the present, using archive photos and movie footage.
The project is part of The Celebrating Fife 2010 organised by Fife Council and we are at the moment researching material and photos from the library, could we request if anyone has photos or movie footage of the town during the period covered, to get in touch with us.
They are covering that particular period as they have quite a lot of cine film and photographs covering this time of change in the town but do have gaps hence the request for any additional material.
One of the events they haven`t come across photos or movie is the fire in 1976 which destroyed St Pauls church and the Regal cinema, anything on that event or anything else in the town would be very welcome.
