Éditions Emile

The concept for ED.EM as an imprint of the Societe Jersiaise Photographic Archive was born out of admiration for Emile F. Guiton and his work; and the desire to keep the collections alive through new contexts.

The quality and breadth of the archive is in a large part thanks to the work of Emile, contributing not only his life’s work photographing Jersey’s heritage but also playing an instrumental role in the collecting and cataloguing of photographs by other photographers. The Société now holds a unique collection of photographic materials dating from the 1840s to the present day.

Founded in 1873, the objectives of the Société Jersiaise are to study the history, archaeology, geology, natural history and antiquities of the island; the dissemination of knowledge about them through education, publication, exhibition and by other means; the preservation of the ancient language, of antiquities and of significant relics and records; and the conservation of the environment.

This series of zines is published by Éditons Emile an imprint of the Société Jersiaise Photographic Archive, and edited by Martin Toft, Shannon O'Donnell and Patrick Cahill
