What the Society does

The Society aims to create a greater awareness and knowledge of the history and heritage of Lincolnshire and assist the discovery and recording of new and relevant information. This is done by:

• arranging lectures, conferences, local history fairs and site visits on many topics related to Lincolnshire's history, archaeology and industrial archaeology;
• the publishing of quarterly and annual periodicals, and a series of more substantial and academic volumes as part of a longer term programme;
• running a bookshop at Jews' Court, which is operated by volunteers , and which carries an extensive selection of new books on Lincolnshire, a thriving second-hand department, and a range of small gifts and souvenirs;
• encouraging school parties visiting Lincoln to use the Society's Education Officer and premises;
• facilitating research and field investigation;
• working with affiliated groups throughout the county.
