eHive Collections Database

We are happy to announce the launch of the new South Georgia Museum online database. The new system is called eHive and it was specially designed for small collections. We continually strive to make our collection more accessible and eHive allows people to search, view and comment on our collection. As well as having a public profile the system also allows the curator to record related information such as acquisition details, condition reports and display history. We are also able to connect our Museum to other relvant collections, such as the Falkland Islands Museum which also plans to use eHive. We have started to upload our artefacts and will continue to do so over the summer.

Were there any women who lived in South Georgia during the whaling era?

While South Georgia’s whaling era was overwhelmingly male-dominated, women weren’t entirely absent. Some of the whaling station managers and senior officials brought their wives to live on South Georgia. These women lived in the relatively better housing available at the stations, but their presence was rare.
