ORAL HISTORY PROJECT

In an email from Nigel Sadler of the Museum and in the latest Times Of The Islands, it appears that an oral history project will be started this summer in the islands. Nigel said they will be sending out two teams to video Islanders on Salt Cay, as well as the other islands and have the proper equipment to do a professional oral history.

By the way, Times Of The Islands is available online if you don’t get a subscription. Go to http://www.timespub.tc/index.htm . There is a great article on charts and maps, butterflies and the laying out of Provo, this month.

Let’s hope they do get to Salt Cay soon as it is so important that the history Ned, Lilly, and some of the really old folks on Salt Cay possess is not lost before it is recorded.
