Kent Archaeological
Society's Archaeological Collection
The Inaugural Meeting
of the Kent Archaeological Society was held on 14th April 1858.
Amongst the principal aims of the Society was the preservation of
objects of all kinds which might bear upon the history of the county.
The Society’s Archaeological collections are now extensive. They
are housed at Maidstone Museum & Bentlif Galley, St Faith's St,
Maidstone ME14 1LH, where admission is free.
Many of the objects and the circumstances of their
discovery have been published in the Society's annual Journal Archaeologia
Cantiana. Here we try to show you modern colour images of many of
our collection.
In 1999 Derek Hodge, Clive Tanner and Ian Wigston spent months
photographing much of the Museum's collection,
to which we are eternally grateful. Photographs taken by them are the © of
Maidstone Museum & Bentlif Gallery. Other pictures were taken by
various members of the K.A.S. - research@kentarchaeology.org.uk
