Dig It! 2017 is co-ordinated by two charities – the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland and Archaeology Scotland. The Society promotes research into the past and Archaeology Scotland focuses on education, promotion and support of our archaeological heritage. We are supported by a range of partners, including local authorities, societies, universities, national agencies, societies, museums, and commercial companies. Historic Environment Scotland have provided funding support, while the idea for Dig It! 2015 (now Dig It! 2017) originally came from Glasgow Life and the Hunterian Museum.
