Minister Scott welcomed the publication, which includes a chapter on ‘The Creation of the National Museum of Bermuda’ and he noted, “It is a pleasure to see this volume on the development of museums in the Caribbean region.

“I commend the group for being able to complete the publication. I know it is a challenge financially for heritage institutions to undertake publishing important historical research books. This is a significant documentation and an asset for the entire Caribbean region and we are grateful for their effort.”
