Between 1973 and 2003 the Department of Archives mounted exhibitions annually.  The main purpose of these exhibitions was the education of the Bahamian populace in the area of history and culture.  Exhibitions of archival materials show what an archives collects, preserves and makes available to researchers.

The department also published booklets or catalogues of the exhibitions. These publications allow the Archives to share some parts of the exhibitions with distance audiences, future readers as well as current readers who see the exhibition and want to study the subject in more depth.

Publications are available for purchase at the Department of Archives.
