Random Island Wiki is a community of volunteers interested in preserving our history

But we can't do it alone. We need your knowledge of Random Island! You don't need to know how to edit the site, just get in touch, and we'll transcribe your info.

Look at this Bay Roberts page for a sample idea. Some ideas of things we need follow, but please pass on your suggestions as well, and of course your pictures!
