The books are lent to the SFHS for the information to be logged into a database and then returned to the owner or family or, if they wish, deposited with the Shetland Museum and Archives. Contact: [email protected]
This is a huge, on-going project in conjunction with the Merchant Navy Association to log all the information held in these documents – invaluable for the details contained of the lives, ships and voyages of Shetland seamen throughout many years.
