Chief Librarian: Amanda Bennett Opening Hours: 09:30am to 5pm Monday-Saturday Enquiries: Library staff are available to give guidance and assistance on family and local research topics. Specialist advice on genealogical research is available and postal enquiries are welcome. About the library The Priaulx library is situated in Candie House, on an elevated site which overlooks the town of St. Peter Port and the neighbouring islands of Sark, Herm and Jethou. The house and most of its contents were the gift of Osmond de Beauvoir Priaulx to the people of Guernsey. The Priaulx family traces its history back to the Norman Conquest and beyond and the name is still extant on the island. The library holds a very large archive of local newspapers, beginning with Guernsey's first newspapers which appeared in 1791 and giving very comprehensive coverage up to the present day. Much of this is on microfilm. The generous co-operation of the local clergy and the Greffier of the Royal Court has enabled the library to assemble under one roof, microfilm copies of most of the civil and ecclesiastical records of the population of the island. These records are available to the public (free of charge to personal callers, in respect for Mr. Priaulx's founding principles) from Monday to Saturday, with experienced members of staff always on hand to give assistance. Those unable to visit the library in person are still able to take advantage of the facilities for a modest fee, since the research assistants are accustomed to searching for the records on behalf of overseas enquirers. Resources Historical Publications concerning the Channel Islands. Family trees and published family histories. Parish Church Registers on microfilm. The Constables Records of St Peter Port (includes several 19th Century lists of "Strangers"). Almanacs from 19th Century (in English and French) which include partial lists of residents by address and/or trade, diaries of local events, Parish officials, officers of local garrisons and militia, shipping, clubs etc. Newspapers from 1791 (in English and French); 30 titles covering different time periods. The principal English language paper was the Star (1813-1965). Now part of the Guernsey Evening Press and Star. Société Guernsiaise publications - the Transactions from outset in 1881 (indexed on Library's computer system principally by subject matter - but also by title). Photographic Collection: Parish by Parish indexed by subject matter. Copies can be arranged.

Started by Colin Soudain in 1957, the Shell Garden, Jersey, has become the largest of its kind in the world consisting of millions of locally collected mollusc shells. Colin Soudain started the Shell Garden for his own pleasure. When he started work on his garden in 1957 his only desire was to enhance the hillside surrounding his newly built house. He never imagined for one minute that the garden would one day become one of Jersey's most unique and popular tourist attractions giving pleasure and joy to tens of thousands of people, both local and tourists alike, every year. Colin Soudain handed the management and creative direction over to me, John Morgan, and I have tried to carry on where Colin left off. Although the garden is now a business, all the additions I make to the garden are for my pleasure and other people's pleasure, and not for financial gain, therefore maintaining the original air of innocence by which the Shell Garden was created. Colin is still very much involved with the garden. Although he is nearly 80 years old, he still keeps very active and I keep him very busy making shell souvenirs for the shell shop. We are a great team and he supports me with all the work we do. That work is a continuous thing as we are adding more shells and works of art to the garden every year. It's really quite difficult to describe the Shell Garden in words, it is so unique, so extensive, and the ambiance, the feeling of peace and tranquillity is so special, it's beyond the written word; you have to experience it for yourself and experience the world's greatest monument to innocence and the true spirit of Mankind. Opening Times 1st April to 1st November from 9.45am to 4.45pm, seven days a week.
