The British Archaeological Association holds regular monthly lectures on the first Wednesday of each month between October and May in the rooms of the Society of Antiquaries of London, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London W1J 0BE.
The lectures are open to all and provide an opportunity for professionals, students and independent scholars to present research that falls within the BAA’s areas of interest. We aim to cover both British and European topics that are susceptible to art-historical, archaeological, architectural, and historiographical investigation between the Roman period and the 19th century, but with a bias towards the medieval period.
Tea is served from 4.30 p.m. and the Chair is taken at 5.30 p.m.

Dear Medieval Art Research,
Might I enquire: notifications from you used to arrive more frequently, on occasion, every other day, or even every day – I am concerned that my change of email address has altered the frequency with which I am now receiving news from you. I now seem to be receiving one notification a week, where there used to be more regular updates.
Is the less frequent system the new norm, or have I done something not right when subscribing with a new address?
Thank you very much.
With all the best wishes,
Elena
