As Barbados prepares to mark 60 years of Independence and five years as a republic, a new digital timeline has been launched to make the island’s history more accessible and guard against the loss or distortion of its national story.

Speaking at the launch of the Barbados @ 60 Timeline on Wednesday at Pelican Village, Prince Bazawule, co-founder and head of design at ESLOV Digital, said the project grew out of an initiative created a decade ago to mark Barbados’ 50th anniversary.
