Glasgow Archaeological Society
About Glasgow Archaeological Society
For over 155 years, the Glasgow Archaeological Society has been fostering public awareness of the importance of archaeology in increasing our understanding of the past through its programme of lectures, field visits and other activities. During the winter months the society organizes a series of monthly lectures by speakers from Britain and abroad. These illustrated lectures cover both local topics and those from farther afield, within a wide time span from the prehistoric to the post medieval period.
The society co-hosts with the University of Glasgow the Dalrymple Lectures, when a distinguished speaker is able to cover a topic in more depth in a series of four evening lectures.
Lectures take place in the Glasgow University’s Boyd Orr Building, in University Avenue on the third Thursday of each month from October to April inclusive, starting at 7.30pm.
