Welcome to the new YAC website!

The Young Archaeologists’ Club (YAC) is the only UK-wide club for young people up to the age of 17 interested in archaeology. The club is run by the Council for British Archaeology (CBA), an educational charity working for over 65 years to promote ‘Archaeology for All’. YAC’s vision is for all young people to have opportunities to be inspired and excited by archaeology, and to empower them to help shape its future.

There are two parts to the Young Archaeologists’ Club (YAC):

• YAC UK is a magazine based subscription package aimed at young people up to the age of 17 who are interested in archaeology.
• The YAC Branches are a network of local branches where young people up to the age of 17 can get involved in hands-on activities on a regular basis.

Dig Deep for YAC Campaign

The CBA is launching a Dig Deep for YAC campaign to support the work of its Young Archaeologists’ Club. If you are a YAC UK or YAC Branch member wanting to discover more about what this means for you, information can be found on the YAC Campaign page.

If you are interested in supporting the Dig Deep for YAC campaign we have highlighted a number of ways you can do this and we would very much appreciate your help.

Tony Robinson is the President of YAC and a presenter on Time Team, Tony says…

YAC encourages young people to look after and protect our archaeology. I am proud to be YAC’s President!
