IntroductionThe Society was founded in 1855 and over the years has changed its name slightly, but its aims have virtually remained the same; 'to promote the study of history, archaeology, antiquities and architecture of the county'. Each year we publish a series of articles in our journal Transactions which also includes a summary of all archaeological activity which has taken place in the city and counties of Leicestershire and Rutland. A sister publication the 'Leicestershire Historian' is also issued annually. Activities include a popular annual lecture programme which runs from October to May, with lectures open to the public (https://www.le.ac.uk/lahs/lectures/index.html) and a History Fair held biennially where possible.
Volumes of Transactions are available to LAHS Members at publication from the Society website and after a fourteen month period from the ADS Library.
