It has fulfilled this remit in a number of ways, including organising a diverse programme of regular lectures and publishing new books on local history. More than 60 books have been published, including Creatures of Fancy: Mary Shelley in Dundee. Details of all the available titles and also free downloads of out-of-print publications can be found on the society’s website https://abertay.org.uk
The society has also organised excursions to historic sites and been involved with archaeological digs. AHS also has a proud record in promoting and supporting local heritage and preservation activities, not least during the recent lockdowns. Today the society organises upwards of eight lectures per session on topics about any aspect of local history in Tayside and North Fife. During the worst of the recent pandemic it adapted to the restrictions on meetings by providing talks through YouTube followed by online question and answer sessions with its guest speakers. Several of these talks are available to view at https://scot.sh/abertayyoutube
