Society Programs and Projects

Special programs and projects include a Society-sponsored exhibit at the State Fair, the annual meeting held every spring at various locations around the state, and a list of speakers from around the state who are willing to speak on archaeological topics.

Society Funds
Donations are welcome to any of the Society funds (e.g., the Jesse Wrench Scholarship Fund, the Lehmer Research Fund, the Chapman Memorial Fund, and the General Fund). Monetary gifts support dissemination of archaeological information to the public and aid in the preservation of Missouri's past for the benefit of present and future generations. Society members' generosity allows for the continuation of these programs and the development of new ones.

Wrench Scholarship Fund—Interest proceeds from this fund, set up in memory of the Society’s first president, Jesse Wrench, finance $1000 annually for a deserving undergraduate at any Missouri university or college.
Hamilton Memorial Fund—In memory of the Society’s long-time second president, Henry Hamilton, and of his brother Ted M. Hamilton, this fund is used to help finance field programs.
Lehmer Research Fund—In memory of a long-time member, this fund provides research support for archaeological projects, especially for materials collected in connection with the Society’s field programs.
Kelly, Mohrman, McKinney, Nichols Memorial Fund— In memory of long-time members, this fund helps finance slide shows and other educational materials for use by schools and institutions.
Chapman Memorial Fund—In memory of a charter member and the Society’s secretary for 45 years, this fund helps defray the costs of the publication of The Missouri Archaeologist and other publications.
Blake Memorial Fund— In memory of a long-time member and Society officer, this fund provides research support for archaeological–biological analyses.
Earl Lubensky Fund—Supports field work and archaeological instruction for MAS members.
General Fund—Supports general administration, the annual meeting, and other projects.
