Jersey Heritage

Jersey Heritage is a local charity that protects and promotes the Islands rich heritage and cultural environment. We aim to inspire people to nurture their heritage in order to safeguard it for the benefit and enjoyment of everyone. 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 islands major historic sites, award-winning museums and public archives. We hold collections of artefacts, works of art, documents, specimens and information relating to Jerseys history, culture and environment. These collections define the island, hold the evidence for its historical development and act as the communitys memory. We are responsible for the following historic sites. http://www.jerseyheritage.org/find-a-place-to-visit Maritime Museum & Occupati...
