Welcome to York Archaeology Community

Working with the community

Welcome to York Archaeology community.

We run a wide range of community projects, offering many ways to get involved. These include our Training Digs in York and Nottingham, volunteering opportunities, and past programmes such as our award-winning Archaeology on Prescription and wellbeing initiatives like Heritage in Mind.

Our volunteering opportunities include placements at our visitor attractions, such as JORVIK Viking Centre and Barley Hall. You can also support our archives or work alongside our Learning Team on a placement.

Here, you can explore our projects and hear from the people who have taken part.
