Corpus of Romanesque Sculpture in Britain and Ireland
The Corpus is the first searchable, digital archive of its kind. It is an authoritative and comprehensive resource. Significant quantities of previously unrecorded material have come to light in the course of the project, and there are many examples of sculpture that are being recorded, catalogued and photographed in an academic context for the first time.
Corpus Vitrearum Medii Aevi
The CVMA is an international research project dedicated to the publication of medieval stained glass. It was founded in 1949 and has committees in fourteen countries. Over sixty-five volumes have been published so far. In Britain, the CVMA is a British Academy Research Project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Board and hosted by the Courtauld Institute of Art in the University of London. A project committee oversees the programme of publications, which are undertaken by volunteer authors.
Research Centre for Illuminated Manuscripts (RCIMS)
RCIMS brings together scholars, curators, and researchers involved with illuminated manuscripts: its purpose is to provide a focus and resource by providing information, by keeping lines of communication open, by establishing links, formal or informal as appropriate, and by organising events in London.
Giotto’s Circle
Giotto’s Circle provides a focus for small, informal seminars and site visits for those engaged in research on the art of thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Italy. It is also intended to host larger events at The Courtauld Institute from time to time.
