Royal Archaeological Institute

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Royal Archaeological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland is a learned society, established in 1844, primarily devoted to the publication of the Archaeological Journal, a production of archaeological news that has been in print since 1844.

James Talbot, 4th Baron Talbot of Malahide was the president for 30 years until 1882, a year before his death.[1] Jonathan Coad is the current president,[2] succeeding Tony Baggs.[3]

Its interests include all aspects of the archaeological, architectural and landscape history of the British Isles and former British Empire. It also conducts lectures and seminars, and both sponsors and participates in field trips to archaeological sites and landscapes. The RAI coordinates with other archaeological groups as well.
