Abstract | Monastic archives are an invaluable source for the study of monasticism and for many other areas of historical enquiry, but they are also a subject worthy of study in itself. All three of the papers in this session will address this subject. Dr. Jurkowski will present an overview of the work and findings of the English Monastic Archives project, with a demonstration of the project database. Dr. Burton’s paper will be a case study of the archives of one monastery – Byland Abbey in Yorkshire - and Dr. Stoeber will address the role of monastic archives in Wales as public repositories. |
