Jersey Archive
The purpose of the Jersey archive is to identify, select, collect, manage, preserve and provide access to the Island's records on behalf of the whole community, promoting Jersey's culture, heritage and sense of place both within its shores and beyond.
All readers require a Reader Ticket to gain access to the archive material. This can be obtained from the Jersey Archive reception upon production of photographic ID. All readers will be asked to produce this ticket and sign a daily register each time they visit the archive. There is no charge for the ticket or the personal use of archive sources.
The Jersey Archive computer catalogue enables visitors to identify records they wish to see. The computerised catalogue allows searches on names, places or subjects. The catalogue can be consulted at the Jersey Archive and also over the Internet at www.jerseyheritagetrust.org. For those who cannot visit in person, archive staff will answer any written, e-mail or telephone enquiries about the records in its care. A charge will be made for any detailed research using original sources undertaken by the archive staff at the rate of £20 per hour or part thereof plus the cost of any copies provided.
A photocopy and photographic service is available but items will only be copied if no physical damage would be caused to the original by doing so. A self-service reader printer is available for printing out from microforms. Charges are made for all copies.
There is an OPAC in reception allowing you to browse the computer catalogue and to order items.
