The Book of Kildare, Giraldus Cambrensis, Topographia Hibernica, 1188
Founded in 1891 the Society’s stated aim was: “the promotion of the study and knowledge of the antiquities and objects of interest in the county and surrounding districts.”
The Society today carries on the work of its founders and is active in the protection and preservation of County Kildare’s rich archaeological heritage.
An interesting programme of outings and lectures is organised each year and the Society’s journal appears every two years.
