Kerry Archaeological and Historical Society

About this Organization

The Kerry Archaeological and Historical Society was founded in 1967, by a group of visionaries, who saw the need to raise awareness of the County’s past. Once founded the Aims of the Society were identified as “the collection, recording, study and preservation of the history and antiquities of Kerry, including the preservation of historical and antiquarian remains, the promotion of scientific excavation and the publication of a journal”. In the intervening years those aspirations have expanded to include, the nurturing, fostering and promoting of an interest in the wider culture and heritage of County Kerry.
