What’s already underway?

Archivists Railene Mabin and Heather Holdsworth are already busy searching the archives for photographs for our decade banners.

Jo McGlashan, former Iona Chaplain and Old Girl, has been commissioned to write Iona’s history.

She is busy gathering stories and welcomes any personal anecdotes about Iona in the near or distant past.
