Welcome to the home of "The Digital Archive of Jura".  This is the point where the Feolin Study Centre introduces and indexes digital information about the digital data we have in our collection concerning the island.  This page will give, as it becomes available, details about the various data sets and whether the data are free,  downloadable, or eligible for purchase via digital media (CDROM, DVDROM etc.).

Some data, such as images will only be available in an analogue form, such as prints for example, unless a license agreement is signed with the Feolin Study Centre.
