Archaeology

Welcome to the latest version of the DGNHAS website, which is more accessible using mobile devices and more easily maintained than the earlier version.
All the content of the earlier version is available here, possibly in a new form and accessed in a different way. The main difference is in searching the website and gaining information on the contents of the online Transactions using TDGNHAS index cards. See the Searching page for more information.
General feedback and information on errors or omissions are welcome. Please e-mail the webmaster using the link on the Contacts page.
Video recordings of the last two Zoom meeings are now available online. These are:
23 October 2020
Crystal Maw, Royal Society for the Protection of Birds
The secret life of cowpats
6 November 2020
John Anstey, Trustee Eastriggs and Gretna Heritage Group
The story of the navvies and how they changed the landscape of Cumbria and south-west Scotland
Despite the enormity of it all, one thing is certain — we are living through extraordinary times.

Clish-Clash is the e-newsletter of the Scottish Local History Forum.
The newsletter gives recent and forthcoming news about activities in the local history community.
“Clish-clash” means “repeated gossip” in Scots, and the newsletter passes on information about local history activities.
The aim is to issue Clish-Clash bi-monthly, but this depends on the amount of information received from SLHF members and others.
