Fiji, Scotland and the Making of Empire

From 27 Jan 2014 To 23 May 2014 - Material relating to this exhibition has been removed from the Univesity website

An exploration of the surprising connections between Northern Scotland and the South Pacific, from the nineteenth century to the present day.

This exhibition in King’s Museum displays some of the items in the University of Aberdeen’s internationally important Pacific collections for the first time in decades, and reveals new research conducted by the Fijian Arts Project of the University of East Anglia and University of Cambridge. A reminder of the complexities of the North-East of Scotland’s contribution to the British Empire and continuing international politics, Fiji, Scotland and the Making of Empire also shows the complexity and beauty of Fijian culture as it has developed over the past few hundred years as part of the network that links the Pacific Islands and the wider world.

Choylin Yim Douglas has been appointed (May 2024) as Minister for the Ministry of Culture and Tourism for the Solomon Islands.

Is there a connection between the families?

In History Scotland's May/June issue they explore what life was like for the pioneer Scottish families who set up homes and businesses in the Pacific in the days before formal colonies had been created, instead using their connections with both their fellow emigrants and prominent Pacific dynasties in order to survive

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
