History & heritage
Jersey Heritage
Jersey Heritage is the guardian of our island story. We care for it, promote access to it, bring imagination to telling its stories and inspire others to do the same. In Jersey, we are responsible for the island's major historic sites, award-winning museums and public archives.

More Information
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.
We are open all year round.
