Because these Islands are not rich in the sort of tools and domestic articles that are usual for history museums and those that did exist were often the victims of salt air and insects, it is important to consider alternate means of preserving the past. One way to do so is by collecting oral histories and, in 1996, the staff starting interviewing selected residents, then transcribing and indexing the tapes. The results are fascinating glimpses into the past which have been featured in the museum members' newsletter and will assist in future exhibits. The museum is open from 9AM to 4PM on weekdays, until 6PM on Wednesday and from 9AM to 1PM on Saturday, with guided tours available. An astrolabe is a navigational instrument which determined latitude and was indispensable to explorers on voyages of discovery centuries ago.
