Our
web site provides an additional venue for our researchers to access Bahamian
records which represent "our common heritage and have insight into
the moulding of the Bahamian character".
The continuous evolution of our web site has resulted
in additional inputs such as an
Index
to the Supreme Court Wills 1722 – 1917, an
Index to Plans Showing Land Ownership in The Bahama Islands
and Some Personalities in Bahamian Education.
As this
process continues, we trust that our web site embodies our mission and
adequately meets the needs of electronic researchers.
