Apart from its winter and summer activities the Society has contributed over the years to the social and cultural life of Tweeddale. It is often consulted about
local historical matters by other societies and organisations, students, and
people seeking information about their Border roots.
Past efforts have included an exhibition of old maps of Tweeddale, a survey of local place names and a history of the Chambers Institution. It also helped in the
compilation and update of an inventory of public records relating to the period before the reorganisation of local government in 1975.
There is a great deal to be gained from recording our Oral History and the
Society recently recorded and transcribed the memories from some of our more senior citizens.
This has now been published under the title "Peebles Remembered"
