Centenary Awards
In 1982 when the Society celebrated its Centenary, an Appeal was launched which generated funds which have since been invested with the interest each year used to support fieldwork or research projects by ‘early-career’ researchers. Details of the 2010 Centenary Award can be downloaded here.
