Humanities Research

The with its has a unique role in developing collaborative, innovative and distinctive research in the humanities, and in equipping researchers to navigate and contribute to UK’s research and innovation landscape.

Through our institutes and our specialist hubs for digital humanities and public engagement, we train the next generation of humanities researchers, devise innovative methods for new discoveries, connect humanities researchers and practitioners across disciplines and sectors, and provide unique humanities research infrastructure to create new knowledge and new formats for collaboration.

Working with funders and other research and innovative organisations, the School helps to create the infrastructure that will support a diversity of researchers - at all career stages - to make the most of opportunities to work across disciplines, sectors and cultures.

We are home to specialist research libraries, and our main Senate House Library is home to 50 special collections and 1800 archival collections, each drivers and facilitators of research for over 100 years.
