Dewar Report Centenary Exhibition.
In 1912, Sir John Dewar, MP, chaired The Highlands and Islands Medical Services Committee which looked into the provision of medical services in the Highlands and Islands.
The resultant report gave a fascinating insight into the social conditions prevailing in the area at the time but also made a compelling case for health care reform.
|
|
It led to the first state provided health service in the world, the Highlands and Islands Medical Service, which is considered to be a precursor to the National Health Service.
The exhibition will run from the 3rd of September at Nairn Museum. |

At Nairn Museum we have a room dedicated to family history research. There are computerised Old Parish Register records for all the Nairn Parishes & computerised census returns covering the period 1841-1901.
We have a broad range of local history information available for inspection together with access to over 5000 digitised photographs covering all aspects of life in Nairnshire.
We are a registered charity and we therefore ask for a small charge to cover time and materials when conducting research.
The charge is £10 per hour or part thereof for family history research, photcopies and printouts 25p per copy and copies of photographs (A4 size £6).
It is possible to purchase a disk of up to a maximum of 10 photographs for £5.
