Friends of the NY Society 2009-2010

The Friends are a small group of archaeology enthusiasts and professionals who go the extra mile to provide the New York Society with the ability to bring you the most extensive lecture program(s) in the AIA. In the past year, there were 10 lectures. In addition, we hold two/three private tours for the Friends along with our annual "Living Room Seminar."
