 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:

  1. To expand the knowledge and awareness of our local, national and international heritage.
  2. Increase our understanding of the historical significance of the area.
  3. 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.
