The HRSBAC Study
Hannaian Research Institute IPIIP studying "The Historical Roots of The Southern Bahamas After Columbus" (HRSBAC)

The Southern Bahamian islands occupied an important historical and economic component of the early development of the Bahamas beginning with Christopher Columbus and his first landfall in the western hemisphere at San Salvador, and the subsequent discovery, development, and utilization of the Crooked Island Passage as a premier shipping lane in the  development of the Western World.

IPIIP is currently conducting research on some of the important historical aspects of the region and its indigenous families. The importance of Watlings/San Salvador, Acklins, Crooked Island, & Long Cay, Long Island, and Inagua, and the history of their people is currently being researched in a long term study identified as "The Historical Roots of The Southern Bahamas After Columbus" (HRSBAC).
