About Us - Hawick Archaeological Society
The Society is about to enter the digital age with the help of a grant from'The Heritage Lottery Fund'. As a result of this grant, 150 years of the Society's Transactions are being comprehensively indexed, digitised and made available to a wider audience through this website and the ‘Heritage Hub" which is part of the Tower Knowe development in Hawick. This will allow any interested party access to the digital archive. The digital format will enable further Transactions to be added annually and the website will be used to allow easier access to the work of the Society, membership, news, syllabus of lecturers, email contacts, publications and merchandise.
The Society has maintained a membership of around 500 members for some time and continues to have a prominent profile in the town. To quote J.J.Vernon, former Hon. Secretary, from 1906 Transactions, on the work of the Society, "With regards to its future there is no limit to the usefulness of its work". A sentiment echoed by the committee and members of Hawick Archaeological Society as they look forward to the next milestone in 2056.
