Centre for Computing in the Humanities

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. The project aims to publish all medieval stained glass in Great Britain (to 1540), in volumes that focus either upon a county, or upon single monuments with outstanding collections of glass. Two further thematic volumes are devoted to national surveys of roundels, a popular form in the later mediaeval period.

The first phase of the CVMA digitisation project led to the creation of a digital Picture Archive, containing nearly 18,000 images, most of them in colour. The current phase of the project aims to create a publishing framework for the digital versions of future print publications.
