We have embarked on our most ambitious project to date. The objective of this history-preservation project is to capture and document our collective memories and the history of Antigua and Barbuda.
The project includes collecting photos, art, short stories, folklore. We are also conducting an extensive and comprehensive oral history project throughout the Antigua & Barbuda Diaspora. At the project’s completion, we will establish a permanent home for the collection at the new National Library in Antigua. By completing this project, we give honor to our ancestors, an celebrate each other’s lives. Read the stories submitted by visiting our story blog located at Antigua & Barbuda Stories. If you would like to participate in this project, or would like more information, contact us at info@foapl.org.
