Christianity and Culture works with a large number of international experts and institutions, including universities, museums and libraries, to generate and disseminate high quality research to a wide range of audiences through books, conferences and interactive CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs.
Our resources bring together the work of researchers, practioners and archive, museum and library professionals and set it in broader contexts, often creating new understanding and exploration as a result. The innovative use of technology to present some of this work visually rather than solely as text allows complex ideas to be explored which draw information from many sources, opening up new avenues of discovery.
We have developed ongoing collaborations with a number of partners who work with us to provide another means of access to and understanding of their holdings. As a result, Christianity and Culture resources are very richly illustrated with material from many important collections, providing access in context to an extraordinary range of visual material and written sources. See Institutional Partnerships for some examples.
Working with Holy Trinity Micklegate parishThe Centre also works in partnership with parish churches, cathedrals and heritage bodies to provide site-specific cost-effective interactive resources which will encourage people from all backgrounds to explore and enjoy churches and appreciate their spiritual and cultural heritage more fully.
We can combine the finest academic research in relevant fields with expertise in creating materials which are accessible and affordable, incorporating the stories of individuals (past and present) which are vital to bringing buildings and communities to life for visitors.
The combination of skills and expertise within our team comprises theology, art history, archaeology, literature, history and technology, as well as many years of experience of interpreting Christian thought and heritage for a wide range of audiences. The members of the team have practical experience in caring for, using and interpreting churches and cathedrals, so they bring to projects a real understanding of the challenges, sensitivities and opportunities faced by churches of all kinds.
