What's New	Welcome to the Wigan Archaeological Society Our small but well-established group was formed in 1982. We meet once a month in Wigan for lectures and discussions on topics of historical or archaeological interest. We have a coach trip in the summer and carry out fieldwork during the year (including excavations). The aims of the society are: To expand the knowledge and awareness of our local, national and international heritage. Increase our understanding of the historical significance of the area. Provide a base for research and a resource for field projects within the area. Over the years our society has carried out a number of field projects within the Wigan district. We are currently working to make the reports of these projects available on-line through the projects area of our web site. To become a member, please fill in this application form.
