Event Details

Join us for the fifth BygoneCon - South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture Libraries' Heritage and Local History Convention - taking place on Saturday 11 October at East Kilbride Central Library.

BygoneCon brings together local and family history groups, archives, researchers, and community projects to celebrate our shared heritage, showcase their work, and connect with visitors.

Drop in any time between 10am and 4pm to explore fascinating stalls, displays and presentations - and get expert advice on exploring your own history.

What's New This Time?
We're introducing a brand new feature:

AI and Heritage - explore how artificial intelligence is being used to colourise or animate old photographs, and join the conversation about when these digital enhancements are appropriate.

There will also be a special focus on the history and future of East Kilbride Town Centre, including current library displays and regeneration plans.

Before you leave, don't forget to record your thoughts at our Lending Voices Podcast Station and help shape the future of BygoneCon.
