At the Society of Antiquaries of London, visitors will learn about the Society's origins, history and modern-day legacy for the continued conservation and study of the material past. With more than 300 years of history to share, and a world-renowned research Library and Accredited Museum collection, the Society continues to be an advocate for preserving the past and sharing knowledge of that past with future generations. These events offer a great opportunity for discovering what the Society's role in conservation, research and sharing heritage has been throughout its history, and what it aims to do in the future.
