Institute of Medieval and Early Modern Studies

We are a talented community of academics, curators, students, practitioners, and volunteers, covering a global range of areas from Late Antiquity to the late eighteenth century. We promote the standing of Durham’s research, it’s UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its museums and collections, by initiating, co-ordinating and supporting networks, programmes and projects for both specialists and the wider public.
