Burlington House

Major works at the Society’s apartments to replace the boiler and central heating system will not now be completed until October.  Regrettably this means that the Library and some parts of the building will remain closed throughout September and into October. The Library and its basement areas will now re-open on 1 October; the Fellows' Room will re-open on 20 October. Objects held in the Museum Room will not be accessible again until 31 October. The Society’s first meeting of the autumn will take place on 2 October when we look forward to welcoming Fellows back to a warmer Burlington House.

The Bill and Beyond


On behalf of TAF (The Archaeology Forum), the Society is hosting a seminar on 7 October 2008 from 11am to 4.30pm at Burlington House to review progress on the Heritage Protection Bill. Participants include speakers from English Heritage and from Government departments involved with the Bill and from key stakeholders, including the Institute of Historic Building Conservation, the Institute of Field Archaeologists, the Association of Local Government Archaeological Officers, and the Joint Committee of the National Amenity Societies. Booking information will be published here as soon as it is available.
