Yeovil Archaeological & Local History Society (YALHS) was founded in 1954 and has been involved with many projects and studies to uncover the past of Yeovil and the surrounding area.

YALHS has a programme of talks from October to May and a series of local visits in the summer. YALHS also produces Chronicle, an annual journal, that includes many articles on history and archaeology relating to the local area.

Members have free access to the societies talks plus a free copy of the Chronicle each year. Visitors are welcome to any of the talks, for a small fee.
