02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The Tayside and Fife Archaeological Committee (TAFAC), formed in the mid-1970s, comprises a group of like-minded individuals, both professional and non-professional who have a shared aim of promoting archaeology within the Tayside and Fife area. Committee Members attend meetings either in their own time or with the blessing of their employers. There are three business meetings and an AGM each year. To further its main aim, TAFAC organises an annual conference, makes available (free of charge) videos of the conference presentations, publishes an annual Tayside and Fife Archaeological Journal (TAFAJ) – again made available free of charge, publishes three Newsletters per year. New members are recruited as existing members leave the committee.
