Nevis Historical & Conservation Society

About:

The Nevis Historical & Conservation Society (NHCS) is a nonprofit, non-governmental organization (NGO) based in the Caribbean island of Nevis, founded in 1980 to protect the cultural and natural heritage of the island. Since 2019, Special Collections and Archives at Hamilton College has worked with NHCS staff to digitize records in fragile physical condition and/or of significant historical value, including: Minutes of the Nevis Council, Baptismal Records from Anglican Churches, and the only known printed copy of the Laws of Nevis (ca. 1773). These materials are presented here for research purposes. All intellectual property rights to the images and information contained therein reside with the NHCS.
