About

Our mission is to produce and facilitate research on the Island’s history, culture, language and environment; and to share that knowledge with the widest possible audience for the benefit of our island community.

Established in 1873 the Société is a registered Jersey Charity. We achieve our aims through our active Sections, research collections, community outreach and collaboration with local and international heritage partners.

How we work with the community…

Room Hire

Function, conference and meeting room hire combining a central location, superior decor and in-house high quality audio visual facilities.

For a more intimate setting, appropriate for focus groups and meetings, separately or as a break-out space, the Arthur Mourant Room is an excellent option.

Archaeology Sites

The Société Jersiaise owns significant archaeological sites around the island. You can find out more about each of these sites here.
