Annual Bulletin of La Societe Jersiaise
|
The Annual Bulletin of the Société Jersiaise is the Society's annual report. It was first published in 1875 and has now reached Volume 30. The bulletin contains general business information about La Société, reports on the activities of its many sections and articles covering the study of all aspects of island life and history. Many of these articles are an invaluable resource for historians. A large selection of articles have been transcribed and formatted for Jerripedia, and this page contains an index to them.

On-line volumes
In April 2015 the Société, on the back of a States grant in 2013, began to add the complete set of bulletins to its revamped website, with an excellent search engine enabling any word or group of words to be searched across the full collection.
Although copies of a number of different Bulletins from 1931 to the present day are still available from the Société bookshop, most of the entire collection is now out of print. Second hand volumes are occasionally available from online booksellers or antique shops in Jersey.
Transcriptions
In line with Jerripedia’s objective to make information on Jersey’s history freely available to all island residents and those throughout the world with an interest in the island, a substantial proportion of the most interesting articles (over 300) have already been processed and added to the site. A limited number are still awaiting final formatting, and we still have a number of articles from the early years to the 20th century to add to the site, some awaiting translation from the original French.
These articles have been reproduced in most respects as they were originally published, allowing for the variation in formats between the printed bulletins and modern web pages.
Where subsequent research has indentified significant inaccuracies in the original text a note has usually been inserted to this effect. Punctuation has been adjusted as necessary to improve readability of the text and dates and other minor items have been adjusted to conform with the general style in use throughout Jerripedia.
In the interests of brevity and clarity, and on the assumption that those undertaking detailed and serious historical research will refer to the original Bulletin articles, footnotes, text inserts and appendices containing references have usually not been included.
Pictures
Photographs, drawings, maps and plans etc, illustrating the original articles have been reproduced wherever possible. Those not suitable for website reproduction have had to be omitted, and the text adjusted where necessary. Many of the articles have had other relevant images from the Jerripedia collection added.
Index
The articles are also linked from appropriate pages and site menus throughout Jerripedia.
