The Priaulx Library
Candie Road, St Peter Port, GY1 1UG
The Priaulx Library, set in picturesque Candie Gardens, has been collecting, cataloguing and preserving records, artefacts and books that document Guernsey's history since 1889. The Library aims to make this important collection as accessible as possible and the archives are open to the public. You can also search our collections online from the Guernsey Libraries catalogue. Our librarians are also able to assist with enquiries and work closely with individuals, schools and other institutions on research and educational projects.
Our collections include maps, family records, pictures, photographs, books, local newspapers, family and military records and important local documents. We are a lending and reference library, and provide research and reproduction services.
