EXHIBITIONS AND PUBLICATIONS

Since 1973 the Department of Archives has been mounting exhibitions annually. The main purpose of these exhibitions is 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.
 
     
         
Along with the displays, the department also publishes a booklet or catalogue. They allow the Archives to share some part 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.

The department has set up a small printing unit using a Risograph GR-3750 Digital Duplicator which was purchased through a grant from the Organization of American States. This equipment now enables the department to print booklets from facsimiles, manuscripts, historical reports and Archives exhibitions. These booklets are disseminated to students in New Providence as well as the Family Islands where they do not have access to the information necessary to complete their projects in the two national exams.

Publications are available for purchase at the Department of Archives. Click here to download the Department of Archives Publication List in PDF format.
