The What's Your Story Project sponsored by Jersey Heritage corporate member Appleby is now moving into its sixth year.

 

The project has revealed the stories of Jersey's people, streets and properties and attracted hundreds of visits to Jersey Archive. Archive staff have discovered stories of love and marriage, military heros, witchcraft and murder and crime and punishment.

 

Our articles have now been placed on the Jersey Archive Blog for you to view.

 

The articles from the 2009 and 2010 What's Your Story Campaigns are now available for you to read and enjoy.
