The Lancaster Cave and Mine Research Society was responsible for archaeological investigations at a number of cave sites across Cumbria and North-West Lancashire. It also undertook industrial archaeological investigative work on both surface and underground sites focussing on the area around Warton Crag. During the thirteen years of the society's existence it recorded this work in a number of society publications as well as more widely in the regional and national caving science press. On the cessation of the society activities much material was dispersed and lost but the work they undertook and published is still pivotal to our understanding of the archaeology, speleology and mining history of the region.
