A WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT

Welcome to our site!

In 1999, about thirty individuals and groups came together to found Réseau Archéo-Québec, motivated by a desire to communicate their love of Quebec archaeology to as wide a public as possible. Today, this not-for-profit association has some one hundred members, dedicated to studying, protecting and developing Quebec’s archaeological heritage.

Are you a bit curious about archaeology? Intrigued by it? Fascinated by it? Would you like to know where you can find archaeologists at work in Quebec? Are you looking for discovery activities to enjoy with your family or friends? Would you like meet specialists whose insights let you view archaeology in a new light? Are you planning an event for your employees and want it to be unique? Or are you wondering how to integrate archaeology with a tourism package? On our Website, you’ll find detailed information and useful links that will help you do all this and more. The Archéo-Québec network promises you a lively, accessible experience of archaeology through concrete contact with the past in exceptional settings.

The Archéo-Québec network’s mission is to encourage people to get to know and love Quebec archaeology. Adopt our slogan – “Put a bit of archaeology in your life!” – and enjoy your visit!
