Astronomy In Jamaica

The history of astronomy in Jamaica is yet to be well organised into a single source of knowledge. Jamaica does have a rich history in astronomy, however. Some of the information has been lost to time but there are several individuals who have been active participants in and have a rich knowledge of Jamaica's vibrant astronomical history. The perspectives of these various individuals are explored here.
