URL for the upcoming month's lecture will be on the HOME page.

 

Most will be recorded and available on our YouTube page shortly after the meeting.

**Unfortunately, we have been having trouble with recordings this year. We think that we have now diagnosed the problem.

 

Our Newsletters, The CODEX, have a promotion for the programs each month. 

Then, the following month, The CODEX, has a discussion of that program by one of our archaeologists.
