From the President

Welcome to the second of our new series of Newsletters. In Spring we published our events edition with an annual programme which allowed you to plan activities for the year. In this Newsletter we are concentrating on a series of articles covering the archaeology and local history of Kent.

Our base in the Library at Maidstone Museum continues to be well used and there are various activities for volunteers on Wednesday and Thursday mornings, so do drop in if you are interested in investigating the Society collections. If you are visiting the Museum take a trip to the Withdrawing Room Gallery where our Anglo Saxon collections have been re-displayed with new labels and interpretation. These collections will be of particular interest if you visited the excavations at Lyminge this summer.

The Society website continues to develop with new resources being added all the time. Keeping the website up and running is something of a challenge as it has so many pages and several associated websites. Over the next few years we are planning to increase the resources available and make navigation easier. This is a mammoth task so I hope you will be patient as we make the changes.
