Our Society was formed in 1991 by the union of two much older societies - Andover Archaeology Society founded in 1965 and Andover Local History Society founded in 1979.
We continue the traditions of those societies, promoting an interest in local history and working to preserve and protect features and items of historic and archaeological interest. We encourage and support any members who have topics they want to study and bring original work to a wide audience through our various publications.
We meet on the fourth Friday of each month (except June, July and August) usually in Andover Museum. Doors open at 7pm, with tea and coffee available, and the evening programme starts at 7.30 pm.
Our annual Dacre Lecture is a public event and is given by an archaeologist or historian of national standing. The venue for this is given on our Programme page.
In June we have a guided walk around a local village or place of archaeological interest.
