The funds we receive from donations and through our Friends programme help us to achieve our goal of completing the Winchester Studies series of volumes. They present the archaeological and historical findings of the excavations which took place in the 1960s and 1970s in Winchester. We have published eleven volumes, with six still to be completed. Our most recent volumes published in 2023 and 2022 respectively focus on the pre-Roman and Roman results (WS 3.i) and on the Environmental results (WS 10). It is vital that we continue to raise funds, to ensure that this important series is accessible as widely as possible.

Details of our publications can be found here.

Make a Donation

As a small independent charity, we rely on the support of donors to publish the Winchester Studies series. We have two teams, based in Oxford and Winchester, preparing the books in our series for publication.

Donations can be made to support all aspects of our work, whether that is by contributing to the costs of publication (including fees for editors, illustrators, copy-editors or indexers); assisting with the costs of the digitisation of past and future volumes; helping towards our day-to-day running costs; or employing editorial and administrative assistance.

All donors will receive updates on the progress of the volumes and a personal invitation to any events we hold. We are hugely grateful for the support we receive and wish to thank all donors, who have given in the past or may consider doing so in the future, for their generous support and interest.
