Documents charting the history of the La Cloche family have been deposited at the Archive and are now available for the public to view.
The private papers date back to 1444 and include 11 documents from the 15th century which have survived in private hands for more than 550 years.
They were loaned to the trust by the late Collette Riches, whose maiden name was La Cloche.
The family is first thought to have settled in Jersey around 1320 when Estienne La Cloche, who married the daughter of the Seigneur of Carbonel in Normandy, moved to the Island.
