What we do
Moder Dy identifies, records and documents Shetland's threatened and disappearing coastal archaeology. Through our projects and events we bring to life Shetland's everyday maritime heritage. We also work with other organisations to support the continuation of traditional boat building and boat handling skills for future generations to enjoy.
