This is our first attempt at a web site for the Jamaican Historical Society, and at first it will be fairly basic. As time goes on, we should be able to make the site more informative and lively, so please bear with us as we experiment.

Please get in touch. The webmaster can be contacted by email at jhs1943@care2.com or you may write to us at the address below.
