The Trustees
This page will be developed further during the course of 2022. Under the new Rules adopted at the Society’s 2021 AGM, the charity is managed by a Board of up to 12 Trustees, who carry sole legal responsibility but who may draw on inputs from an Advisory Council of experienced persons in the fields of archaeology and history. At the time of drafting [20 Dec 2021], eight of the existing Trustees have indicated willingness to continue to serve. They...
Volume 34 - 'Managing Poverty'
Cheltenham in the early to mid-nineteenth century was a magnet for the rich. It also attracted the poor, eager to benefit from the availability of work in a growing town, but not all who migrated there found success. This volume examines the lives of those whose dreams failed, and who had to seek relief from the parish. Many discovered they were not – according to the complex Poor Laws of the day – Cheltenham’s responsibility. Those who had alrea...
Our Aims and Charitable Status
The Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society, founded in 1876, has been registered with the Charity Commission since 1962 (Reg No 202014). The Society’s aims (what the Commission formally terms ‘objects‘) are to: “advance and promote the education of the public in the history, heritage and archaeology of Bristol and Gloucestershire” We endeavour to fulfil these aims by: encouraging and facilitating research and practical engagement provid...
A fairly brief history
The Society was founded in 1876, putting it in the middle range of the many ‘county’ societies set up in the Victorian era. The following outline chronology notes some of the key dates and events – illustrating both continuity and change. 1840s – First attempts to found a county archaeological society fail to take root 1875 – Local antiquarians and people interested in building conservation invite Dr John Beddoe FRS to convene a provisional commi...
Committee Structure

They will be supported by standing committees to advise on Archaeology in Bristol and Gloucestershire, the Library, and Publications. Further details will be added in due course. ...

Gloucestershire Record Series
Each year the Society issues a hardback volume of records relating to the history of our area. We’ve published 35 volumes since 1988. The edited records cover a huge range, from medieval to the early 1900s, the one common feature being that they are previously unpublished and likely to be a useful resource for future researchers and students. How much? We operate a subscription model for the Record Series – it’s currently an extra £15 on top of t...
BGAS Transactions
The Transactions are the Society’s annual journal. A new softback volume is published each spring and is distributed free to members. Edited to an exemplary standard, each issue contains reports of archaeological excavations, articles of original historical research, book reviews and reports of the Society’s activities during the year. The 138 volumes already issued are a treasure trove of information on Bristol and Gloucestershire, and are our m...
