Administrative history

The Cambrian Archaeological Association was established in 1846 to further the study of Welsh archaeology. The Association's annual journal, Archaeologia Cambrensis, was first published in the same year. Early prominent members of the Association included the Rev. Edward Lowry Barnwell (Secretary, 1854-1875), D. R. Thomas (editor of the journal, 1875-1880 and 1884-1888), and the first President of the Association, Sir Stephen Richard Glynne. The Association continues to run annual meetings and excursions, publishing Archaeologia Cambrensis and the Cambrian Archaeological Monographs series.
