About Us

The John Gray Centre brings together East Lothian’s Archaeology, Museum, Archive and Local History Services, alongside Haddington’s branch library. A lively community and outreach programme augments these, both inside the Centre and around the region.

In the Centre and on this website you can delve into East Lothian’s heritage, find resources to help you at school or in your studies, and browse through our images and maps. Search our catalogues and online map using the search box above (the Library catalogue can be searched here), or help us by sharing your own stories, whether they’re family lore or tales from your home town.

There is always something happening here, from writers’ groups to archaeology talks, and from art classes to events for families and young people. We also run an extensive community and outreach programme – get in touch if you’d like to get involved!
