About Us
The Carriacou Historical Society has been in existence since 26 February 1976. In December 2009, it was incorporated as a non-profit organization under the Company’s Act of Grenada. The society's Executive Committee was then replaced by a volunteer Board of Directors consisting of its elected officers and directors.The society has three standing committees: the Museum Committee, the Projects and Planning Committee, and the Finance, Fundraising, and Membership Committee. Subcommittees are formed as the board of directors sees necessary. Currently, there are three such subcommittees: Community Outreach, Industrial Archeology, and The Press.
