150 Years of the Societe Jersiaise

The Société Jersiaise was founded in 1873 for the study of Jersey archaeology, history, natural history, the ancient language, and the conservation of the environment. 150 years later it continues to fulfil this important role, whilst enabling islanders to connect with Jersey’s past, present and future through research, education and outreach.

The commemorative stamps feature portraits of past members of the Société, each of whom has left a lasting legacy in their specific field of work. The portraits have been painted by Jersey artist Kevin Pallot and incorporate elements relating to each person’s area of interest.

A set of eight stamps from our '150 years of the Société Jersiaise' issue. Eight influential members from throughout the Société's history are commemorated with portraits by local artist Kevin Pallot.
