Glad you found us!

The Thomond Archaeological and Historical Society, while based in Limerick city, covers the Mid-West region.

As our name suggests we exist to promote an interest in history, archaeology and related subjects.

We organise lectures, outings in Ireland and abroad and publish an annual journal - the North Munster Antiquarian Journal.

We welcome new members who share our interests.

To join, simply contact the Hon. Secretary, M. Kenehan at 086 8053452 for further details. Current subscription is €30 per year.
