Leabharlainn nan Eilean Siar/Western Isles Libraries will facilitate a community project that honours the vital role Hebridean women played during World War II. With the ‘Battle of the Atlantic’ from the British Film Archive to spark reflection on the distinct wartime experiences of island communities, they will work with partners Tasglann nan Eilean (Outer Hebrides Archives) and Skye and Lochalsh Archive Centre to host a series of events in libraries, inviting the community to gather and share their stories, highlighting the bravery and resilience of island women, and how their contributions helped shape the freedoms we enjoy today.
