Hebridean Connections is a project that brings people together around a shared interest in the history and
culture of the Outer Hebrides. Part of the project includes the development of a unique website, which
brings tens of thousands of records from the islands’ historical societies together in one place. This is
providing a vast resource, where a worldwide audience can find out about island people and their way of
life in times gone by. See www.hebrideanconnections.com
