An Caidreachas
The Caidreachas Eachdraidh is the Federation of Comann Eachdraidh (historical societies), in the Western Isles.
Hebridean Connections
Here you will find over 40,000 records relating to the genealogy, history, traditions, culture and archaeology of the Western Isles, an island community off the west coast of Scotland. All material is drawn from the collections of the Comainn Eachdraidh, the Historical Societies of the Western Isles.
Faces from the Lewis War Memorial
Faces from the War Memorial lists all the men from the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland, who died as a result of the First World War. This site was compiled to keep alive the memory of those from the island who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the service of King and Country between 1914 and 1919. Although hostilities ended on 11 November 1918, the war is held to have ended in 1919 in Lewis because of a large loss of life right at the start of that year in the Iolaire disaster.
