Welcome to the Society

The Society of Antiquaries of London secures its future at Burlington House

The Society of Antiquaries of London is delighted to share that after successful talks with The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, we and the other Learned Societies of Burlington House have been granted a 999-year leasehold agreement.

Based in the heart of London, we are the centre of antiquarian learning, discovery and community. As a royal learned society, our Fellows have been inspiring scholarship, debate and research for over 300 years. More recently, we have welcomed enthusiasts such as Affiliates and the general public to share in our journey to understand the past and its relevance today.

CALL FOR PAPERS: Queer(ing) Space(s) from Antiquity to the Present

In this conference, we are inviting contributors to help us capture capacious new research examining the residues of queer histories in spaces, buildings, landscapes and material cultures.
