SANHS Associated Societies
SANHS Associated Societies are local groups that are members of SANHS. Associated Societies are eligible for most of the benefits received by individual and joint members. Additionally, Associated Societies are invited to advertise their news and events on the SANHS web site and in the SANHS e-bulletin. Some events and talks are organised jointly, and once a year SANHS holds its annual Associated Society Day in collaboration with one of the groups. This year’s Associated Society Day was cancelled due to COVID-19. In 2019 the event was held jointly with Banwell Society of Archaeology in Banwell. View the report from the day here.
