The Royal Academy of Archaeology of Belgium is a non-profit organization founded in 1842. The Academy is registered in Brussels and is placed under the Gracious Protection of His Majesty the King.
The Academy wishes to stimulate scientific research in the fields of archaeology, history of art and related disciplines.
In order to realize these aims, the Academy regularly organizes meetings and publishes the internationally esteemed Revue Belge d'Archéologie et d'Histoire de l'Art. The Indices covering the period 1931-1990 have been published as a supplement to Volume LXI (1992).
The Academy compiles an annual Bibliography of the History of the National Art. Until recently this invaluable research tool was published in the Revue. Thanks to the support of the King Bauduin Foundation this bibliography is currently being digitalized.
Every three years the Academy grants the Simone Bergmans Award to an unpublished study on the history of our national art e.g. an artist, a work of art, an area or an aspect of humanism in Belgium.
