Pitcairn Register Returns to South Pacific
Description
The Pitcairn Register, a historic ledger of the Bounty mutiny crews descendants, returns to the South Pacific after nearly two centuries. This handwritten record, documenting births, marriages, and deaths, was sent to England for safekeeping in 1854 and is now being loaned to the Norfolk Island Museum Trust. The register, a sacred record for descendants like Dr. Pauline Reynolds, will be on display for three years, fostering deeper ties between the museum and island communities and shedding light on the violent past and its living legacy.
