Editor: The celebration of the Independence of St Vincent and the Grena­dines (SVG) is usually a time for reflection and research. It is a good time to highlight those who are responsible for keeping us informed and providing sources of information.

In addition to the traditional books, the new cyber technology enables one to have information literally at one’s finger tips. Leaflets, pamphlets, newspapers and magazines are sources that also provide information.{{more}}

In particular, the centennial magazines of the St Vincent Grammar School, the Girls’ High School and more recently, the magazine compiled to mark the 175th anniversary of the St Paul’s Anglican Church, Callia­qua, are invaluable sources of local national information. These magazines are highly recommended for ready reference.

Happy 37th anniversary of independence on October 27, 2016, and our love and thanks to all of those who play a role in documenting, collecting, preserving and circulating various aspects of the history and development of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

They keep the flame of knowledge burning and inspire and motivate others positively.

Continue the good work.

Congratulations !!!

Cheryl Phills King
