Yorkshire Archaeological Society : ウィキペディア英語版 | Yorkshire Archaeological Society The Yorkshire Archaeological Society is a learned society and registered charity, founded in 1863. It is dedicated to the study of the archaeology, history and people of the three Ridings of the historic county of Yorkshire. The headquarters in Leeds houses a library of some 45,000 works, which has been described as "probably the largest single resource for research on Yorkshire's past outside the British Library";〔McHugh and Barber 2013, p. 78.〕 and also an extensive archive, including collections of early antiquarians. It publishes an annual journal, the ''Yorkshire Archaeological Journal''; and, particularly through its Record Series, it also functions as a text publication society. The Society has seven special interest groups, such as the Family History or the Roman Antiquities sections. These may be joined without full membership of the main YAS. ==History== The Society was originally founded in 1863 as the Huddersfield Archaeological and Topographical Association. The initial purpose was to facilitate renewed excavations at Slack Roman fort, and later to promote interest in the history and archaeology of the Huddersfield area. The leading founding member was George Lloyd (1820–1885).〔''Huddersfield Chronicle'' 9 December 1865: "The site of Cambodunum"〕 The society expanded its interests to cover the whole of Yorkshire in 1870.
