Pairc Historical Society

About

Pairc Historical Society was formed in 1990 and is based at the Ravenspoint community museum in Kershader, Isle of Lewis. The museum houses archive and object collections relating to the people, families and industry of the area, as well as the Angus MacLeod Archive.  The Society is very active, publishing booklets on the local area as well as their own quarterly magazine, Tional.
