Join us to celebrate this year's Festival of Archaeology with our partners, the Council for British Archaeology.
The RAI is pleased to be a sponsor of A Day in Archaeology on 13th July. A series of 'day in the life' blogs shared to give you an insight. You can also share your own experiences. Find out how and have a look at existing blogs at: https://festival.archaeologyuk.org/day.
Welcome
The Royal Archaeological Institute (RAI) is a leading national archaeology society, with a history dating back to 1844. Its interests span all aspects of the archaeological, architectural and landscape history of the British Isles.
Through our annual publication of the Archaeological Journal and our programme of monthly lectures, we have a strong tradition of presenting archaeological research. We also give grants to enable research projects, host conferences and run specialist tours for our members to archaeological sites, historic buildings and landscapes.
