Expertise
The University of Liverpool brings interdisciplinary strength
to the study of Liverpool’s past, especially in the historic
built environment; the histories of print, media, film and
music; and the conservation and promotion of archival
and library resources.
We play an important role in many of the city’s museum
developments, feeding original research directly into wider
public dissemination. Recent collaborations include
exhibitions and collections research in Egyptology,
popular and classical music, architecture and public
space, film and cinema, slavery studies and
Liverpool history.
In particular, we have contributed to several galleries in the
prestigious new Museum of Liverpool. Many curators have
graduate degrees from the University, and the Centre for
Archive Studies provides continuing professional
development (CPD) and postgraduate courses in
archive and records management.
