Tha sgeulachd na companaidh-foillseachaidh Acair air a freumhachadh ann am foghlam d脿-ch脿nanach sna h-Eileanan an Iar. B' e Iain Moireach a bha na Sti霉iriche air Pr貌iseact D脿-Ch脿nanach Chomhairle nan Eilean agus an Dr Fionnlagh Macle貌id, a bha ag obair mar shaidhgeolaiche ann am bun-sgoiltean nan eilean, gu h-脿raidh taobh na G脿idhlig, a th貌isich a' putadh is a' cothachadh airson companaidh a dh' fhoillsicheadh leabhraichean G脿idhlig a bhiodh tarraingeach do chlann bheaga agus do dhaoine a bha a' tighinn gu aois. Anns a' chiad phr貌gram de thr矛 tha Catriona Mhoireach a' cluinntinn mu na l脿ithean tr脿th sin, mu na ciad leabhraichean a dh' fhoillsich Acair agus mar a leudaich an fharsaingeachd de leabhraichean thairis air na bliadhnachan.
Lewis-based publisher Acair's roots lie in the Bilingual Education Project in the Western Isles in the late 1970's. In the first of 3 programmes celebrating 40 years of Acair, Catriona Murray speaks to those who were involved in the setting up of the company in 1977 and finds out how the market for Gaelic books expanded over the years.
