One of many pages in the Tristan da Cunha VT

UKOTCF’s Virtual Tours (a series rather like a slide-show under standard headings for each territory) was started at the request of students in Jersey, one of the Crown Dependencies, during UKOTCF’s conference there in 2006. Although it received a little start-up funding, by far the majority of the work has been undertaken by unpaid volunteers – and so progess has inevitably been slow, especially as a great deal of work is required to put together each VT. In 2021, UKOTCF has published three new VTs. Anguilla was drafted by Dr Jamie Males and edited by Ann Pienkowski, and she produced also Gibraltar and now Tristan da Cunha. We thank the many local people who helped with each tour. All the published VTs can be viewed at http://www.ukotcf.org/1_vTours/intro.cfm.
This means that all UKOTs now have at least a first edition VT, and a few have also had revisions. This applies also to 3 of the Crown Depndencies. The final 2 of these are in progress and will be published in 2022, completing the set of 21 territores.
