Outreach

In 1970 the Vindolanda Trust was established with its founding aims for the archaeological research of the site, making the structures and artefacts available to the interested public, especially educational groups, and engage with people from all walks of life. Nearly fifty years after those aims were established making the artefacts and research available to the interested public has remained at the heart of everything we do at Vindolanda.
