British Academy: The UK's National Academy for the Humanities and Social Sciences
Albert Reckitt Archaeological Lectures
In 1950 the Academy was invited to take over the administration of the Reckitt Archaeological Trust (established by the late Mr Albert L Reckitt). As well as using the funds to support archaeological research, the Academy's Council also decided to establish a lecture. The lecture was first delivered in 1951.
