Classical Association

The Classical Association is a British learned society in the field of classics, and a registered charity.^[1]

The association was founded on 19 December 1903, and its objects are defined in its constitution as:

“

(a) The advancement of education by the promotion, development and maintenance of classical studies; and (b) To increase public awareness of the contribution and importance of classics to education and public life.[2]

”

The Association publishes three journals: Classical Review, Classical Quarterly and Greece and Rome, and a newspaper Classical Association News (sometimes abbreviated to CA News). It also produces a directory Classicists in British Universities which is also available online.^[3] Its other activities include work with schools, conferences, and the award of grants. Its past presidents include novelist Lindsey Davis. The association celebrated its centenary in 2003 by publishing a book, The Classical Association: the First Century 1903-2003, edited by Dr Christopher Stray; this includes a history of the association and studies of various aspects of its activities over the century, including an account of the Classical Association of Scotland.^[4]
