The society was organized in BYU's Department of Archaeology as the University Archaeological Society in 1949. It published a newsletter and held annual symposiums. In 1967 its name was changed to the Society for Early Historic Archaeology. It split off from BYU in 1979 and afterward began a slow decline until ceasing in 1990.[1]
