Galway Archaeological & Historical Society - GAHS

Welcome to our YouTube channel. The Galway Archaeological and Historical Society (GAHS) was founded on the 21st March 1900 at the Railway Hotel to promote the study of the archaeology and history of the west of Ireland. Since 1900, the Society has published more than 70 volumes of its Journal. A back catalogue of journals is available at our website http://gahs.ie, and articles are available for download through the online academic database JSTOR.

The Society also runs a lecture series in Galway City, as well as outings to various sites of interest during the summer months. It is also involved in liaison with national and local authorities with respect to heritage matters relating to the City and County of Galway.

We invite you to become a member; overseas members are also welcome. All members receive a free copy of the GAHS Journal, which is typically issued towards the end of the calendar year.
