The Jersey Archives

Jersey Archive is a part of Jersey Heritage, which was founded back in 1981. The archive allows Jersey to hold collections of artefacts, works of art, documents and information relating to the history and culture of Jersey. The collections they have define the island as a whole and they hold evidence for events that have happened on this island, such as the occupation. During the visit to the archive, I was able to see historical objects and documents, along with images that they had been storing for years.

The two images below were taken during the German invasion in the channel island. They show soldiers in their uniform with their equipment, along with a congregation of people gathered in a small area. These two photos are only a part of the history they have on the occupation, the images still in good quality. The photos hold so much detail and history in them as you are able to see the conditions the islanders were put in.
