See Manx history at the click
of a mouse
A NEW website allows users to see Manx history at the click of a mouse.
Manx National Heritage this week launched www.imuseum.im. It provides access to a treasure trove of stories from the past.
Highlights include more than 150 years of Manx newspapers, 17th to 20th century baptism, marriage and burial records, records of the island’s war memorials and thousands of images of Manx people and places.
iMuseum.im can be searched free, although a small subscription charge applies for using newspapers and publications for which more than 400,000 pages from 26 titles are fully searchable.
The newspapers and publications provide countless accounts of how our ancestors lived, worked and died. They mainly date from the 19th century, but some go right the way back to 1792 and cover every aspect of local news, social life, advertisements and classifieds.
The project has cost more than £2m from a variety of sources. This includes contributions from government, the Charitable Fund of the Manx Museum and National Trust and the Friends of Manx National Heritage.
