Tri State Archaeological Society is dedicated to the preservation, protection, and promotion of artifact collecting in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. With current anti-collector sentiment, and recent legislative restrictions, it is imperative that artifact collectors unite in a proactive Society that will promote the hobby in a positive light. TSAS will fight to protect our right to collect, educate the general public, sponsor good shows, send out timely and informative newsletters, and defend our hobby from special interest groups that would sponsor anti-collector legislation. TSAS is properly organized by Charter and By-laws, and elects a proper governing board and officers.
Since 2001, TSAS has been proactive in education – giving away (13) $500 scholarships to youth affiliated with our organization. The Broome-Haddock-Wingate Scholarship program is the most successful of any Scholarship program affiliated with an artifact collecting society in the country. In 2011, TSAS awarded (4) $500 Scholarships to very deserving young people from Alabama, Florida, and Georgia.
We have also raised and given over $7000 towards successful legal defense of those charged in malicious prosecution, most recently in the State of Florida.
TSAS is actively seeking motivated individuals to help showcase and preserve the best artifacts in the country - All we need now is your support!!! If TSAS sounds like the organization you have been looking for to enhance your ability to enjoy the hobby - Look no further TSAS will be the organization of choice.
Our motto is "Preservation Through Knowledge" - help us make it happen!
Join the Tri-State Archaeological Society, the most active of all Deep South Collector organizations since 2001, devoted to the preservation and promotion of the family oriented hobby we all love and enjoy.
