About the Archives Section

The Société Jersiaise is interested in records of all kinds; the variety is infinite, connected with the Island or with Jersey as part of the Channel Islands. Most of our records are in French, some of the earliest are in Latin, and therefore anyone who studies them must either have or acquire a good standard of both written and oral French. With these basic qualifications all a member of Archives needs is a genuine interest in the subject. The rest comes with practice.

The Archives Section has also undertaken to build up a sound archive. Good progress is being made but there is plenty of room for more keen helpers.
