FYAH to Host Community Archival Workshop Saturday in Frederiksted

Find Your Archives a Home (FYAH), a nonprofit organization dedicated to locating, preserving, and sharing archives focused on the Virgin Islands, invites the community to attend their upcoming workshop on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. in the Chant Building located in Frederiksted, St. Croix. Participants will learn how to comb through the archives and navigate photos, documents, and census records while connecting with fellow history enthusiasts.

David Berg, a fine art photographer residing on the island of St. Croix and the co-founder of FYAH alongside Juliana Berry, has always been a purveyor of Virgin Islands history but found his passion for his community’s history deepened in 2018 when he began exploring the archives.

“I have always been fascinated by our island’s history, particularly its visual aspects. Delving into the Virgin Islands archives was a profoundly moving experience. It was like uncovering cherished memories I didn’t even know were missing,” said Berg.
