Library Receives Donation From Frith Family

Yesterday, friends and family of the late Jeremy Frith donated two copies of his book “Oh Gawd, I vish dis ig’rance vud stop! the uniquely Bermudian poetry of Jeremy Frith” and a copy of the CD version to the Bermuda National Library [BNL] for their Bermudiana Collection.

The donation occurred in advance of a special Bermuda Festival performance featuring Mr. Frith’s work which will be held on Wednesday, 31st January at the Eark Cameron Theatre.

The BNL owns a comprehensive collection of materials in the Bermudiana Collection. This includes a wide collection of books, periodicals, government reports, almanacs and yearbooks dating back to early twentieth century, Bermuda Laws, rare books, pamphlets and non-print items. BNL holds almost complete sets of many local newspapers dating from 1784 to the present. These are available to the public on microfilm.
