Visiting the online Angus Macleod Archive at http://www.angusmacleodarchive.org.uk/ one is presented with a list of 14 topic areas listed at the left of the page.
Selecting the second item, 'History of Pairc, Lewis' takes us to a list of 35 documents.
But it is within the in the easily-overlooked item that precedes that list, 'Notes for Reference on the History of Park ', that another dozen treasures are to be found.
Choosing the first of these will download the pdf file 'Ancestry of the Present People of Park ' which is the best short summary of the history of the area that I have seen.
I have presented this piece in a series of steps in order that it functions as a simple guide to exploring the online Archive and I hope that you find it helpful.
There is always the Search facility (which is excellent for discovering documents in the Archive) but, once found, the only option is to download the document rather than opening the page on which it is located, making accurately citing the source, or exploring other pieces in the same section, a tad difficult.
