Hello internet,
I’ve tried going about this the old fashioned way and contacting museums, historians, even the tourism board, with no luck. So, I’m turning to you. I need a research assistant in Antigua. I’m willing to pay for help.
While I’d love to have just one assistant, if I need to break the tasks up I can. Here’s what I’m looking for.
- Someone who speaks Antiguan Creole English.
- A historian familiar with the slave system and sugarcane plantations in the period between 1807 and 1822.
- Someone who has time to go take photos of things I can’t find online.
- Someone who can read the manuscript for geography, climate, and culture errors.
If you know anyone, please, please, please have them get in touch with me.

I forwarded your message to someone I know (from an alumni list) who lives on Water Island and teaches at the University of the Virgin Islands.
Thank you.
I have forwarded this to a friend of mine who is an Artist and lives in Antigua, she also proof reads and submits articles on many things from Sailing to Cookery
Thank you! I think i just heard from her.
A friend suggests along with the University of the Virgin Islands, that the University of the West Indies in Barbados might be another place to check. She’s posted it in the FB group Virgin Islands Creations and Connections and pass it on to some other Caribbean groups she knows.
Hi,
Very interested in this as live and work and write in Antigua…. Have worked with the local Museum and hold an MA in Writing from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK.
Sent a reply last night, not sure if they arrived.
Good luck with this project and look forward to hearing from you
