Jersey Heritage was founded in 1981. We are an independent organisation that receives an annual grant from the States of Jersey to support our running costs. Admission income from visitors and support from sponsors are also vital to keep us operating.
In Jersey we are responsible for the island's major historic sites, award-winning museums and public archives. We hold collections of artefacts, works of art, documents, specimens and information relating to Jersey's history, culture and environment. These collections define the island, hold the evidence for its historical development and act as the community's memory.

The Société Jersiasie
The Société promotes the study of Jersey archaeology, history, natural history, the ancient language and the conservation of the environment and owns many of the items on display in Jersey’s museums. Many of the island’s prehistoric sites are owned by the Société and are free for visitors to enjoy. The Lord Coutanche Library and Photographic Archive at No7 Pier Road, next to Jersey Museum, are important resources for local and family history. There is also a local history bookshop here with many of the Société’s academic and popular publications and guides to the Island.
