Material Detail

The Corpus Vitrearum Medii Aevi (or CVMA) is an international research project dedicated to the publication of medieval stained glass. Founded in 1949, the CVMA has committees in fourteen countries and 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. This website explains the project's activities, the people and organizations involved, our Books and how to order them. There is also free access to our digital Picture Archive, containing over 10,000 images, most of them in colour. The majority have been provided by the public archive of English Heritage, the National Monuments Record and scanned by HEDS Digitization Services.
