It is with sadness that we mourn the passing of Mr. Colville Petty OBE of Anguilla. He was a dedicated historian, an accomplished author, and a trusted keeper of Anguilla’s history, historical artifacts, and stories. Mr. Petty passed away on 14 September 2026 at the age of 84. As noted in a recent post by the Government of Anguilla, Mr. Petty’s life and service were deeply connected to the development of modern Anguilla. One of the island's first graduates of the University of the West Indies, he was appointed Administrative Secretary to the Chief Minister’s Office. From 1981 to 1986, Mr. Petty served as Director of the Anguilla Social Security Board, contributing to the development of Anguilla’s public institutions and social systems. He also made invaluable contributions to preserving and documenting Anguilla’s history. Through his writings, collection of historical artifacts, research and generosity, he helped to safeguard the stories and experiences that shaped his island, its culture, and its people. May his memory continue to inspire us to document and preserve the Caribbean's history and heritage.
