Jersey Heritage is an independent trust in Jersey which is responsible for the island's major historic sites, museums, and public archives. It holds collections of artefacts, works of art, documents, specimens, and information relating to Jersey's history, culture, and environment.
The trust was formally registered in Jersey on 3 June 1983.
The trust is financed by an annual grant from the States of Jersey, and self-generated income.
The Jersey Museum and Art Gallery is located at Weighbridge Place, in St Helier.
The Jersey Archive, established in 1993,[2] is located in a building on Clarence Road, in St Helier.
It has the responsibility of cataloging and storing historical documents and works of art,[3] and to make archived items available to the public. This includes the initial examination of the Grouville Hoard, found in 2012.
The research staff at the facility will assist anyone with local research on subjects such as family history, the history of buildings, and the occupation of the Channel Islands.[4]
