Clan Cameron Association
Outreach Program

"Reviving, conserving and promoting the interests"
of the Clan Cameron

These founding principals of the Clan Cameron Association, established during the late nineteenth century in Scotland, are also the reasons behind the Clan Cameron Outreach Program.  With an eye toward future generations of Camerons, the Outreach Program ensures that the traditions and meaning behind our proud heritage will be kept alive for years to come.

In the early 1970s a wonderful book, entitled "The Camerons - A History of Clan Cameron," was written by John Stewart of Ardvorlich and as of August 2001 is in its fourth edition.  A condensed version of this publication is available on Clan Cameron Online and copies are available for purchase from the Clan Cameron Museum at Achnacarry.  Above and beyond these sources, and the value of the Internet for Camerons to learn more of their heritage, it has been put forward that copies of Stewart's book should be readily available at "physical" libraries, for the general public.

With this in mind, the Outreach Program was established by the North American Branch of the Clan Cameron Association in 2002, with the notable goal of placing copies of "The Camerons - A History of Clan Cameron" into libraries across the United States and Canada.

The goal, of placing these books, without charging institutions for their copies, is a difficult one to meet.  In a first step toward raising funds for this challenge, auctions of Clan Cameron and Scottish items, many one of a kind, were held at the Clan Cameron Association's Northern U.S. Rallies - June 2002 in Oberlin, Ohio and May 2005 in Frederick, Maryland.

Proceeds from this first phase of the Outreach Program have been utilized to obtain copies of Stewart's work, for donation to libraries across North America.  Chapters and Branches of the Clan Cameron Association, in addition to proud members of the Association, are also encouraged to obtain copies and seed them at major libraries.

The following institutions have copies of this publication,
both prior to and as a result of the Outreach Program:
