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.
