Please join the British Catholic Material Culture Research Group for a workshop discussing the central role of archives, artefacts and relics in life-writing and in understanding and documenting past earthly lives and afterlives. We are delighted to be working in partnership with UCL’s Centre for Early Modern Exchanges on this final event of 2023-24.

Please find the full programme here: Archives, artefacts and life-writing programme 18 October.

British Catholic Material Culture is a British Art Network research group. It considers the art and material culture of British Roman Catholics in the British Isles and in exile during the ‘Penal period’, i.e. from the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 1530s to the restoration of the Hierarchy in England in 1850. The group aims to investigate how such collections can be understood and shared more widely, and their benefits to audiences today.
