The Society was established in 1853, for the collection of information 

 relating to the Archaeology and Natural History of Wiltshire, with a view to 

 the completion of a history of the county. 



A General Meeting is held in a different part of the county each year.

 (comprising 48 numbers) have been issued, in addition to Canon Jackson's 

 edition of Aubrey's "Wiltshire Collections, and a Report of the Elackmore 

 Museum. Premises in Long Street, Devizes, have been purchased by 

 the Society, and fitted up as a Museum and Library for the reception 

 and preservation of objects of Natural History, Antiquity, Drawings, Models, 

 MSS., Works of Reference, &c., &c., and there the Society's present Collections 

 are, and any future additions thereto will be, available to its Members.
