Events must be on topics relating to archaeology in Massachusetts or elsewhere in the world and are subject to review by the MHC before listing.

Begun in 1992 as Archaeology Week, Massachusetts Archaeology Month is a month-long celebration of archaeology in Massachusetts and around the world. Museums, libraries, archaeologists, and many more people and institutions join Secretary Galvin and the State Archaeologist in hosting exhibits, lectures, walks, and events for adults, children, and teachers.

The annual calendar of events is available on-line in late August and printed calendars and posters are mailed later in early September.

Many of our sponsoring organizations hold events throughout the year, and we hope you will continue to support their efforts to bring the past to life by visiting them year round. The 2011 calendar is currently online and can also be used as a guide to places that host events throughout the year, but please call first to learn more about current events, fees, and hours.

To be added to our mailing list to receive the calendar of events, please contact the MHC.
