Unchaining the library
Helping students get the scholarship they need
Welcome to MEMSLib
MEMSLib is an initiative of the Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS) at the University of Kent. This student-led project developed out of our shared desire to support academic peers and colleagues during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Online Resources
MEMSLib continuously updates our online resource pages, bringing you the latest tools and websites to help with your research. For example:
Manuscript Studies
We've complied the ultimate list to help with all things palaeography or codicology.
Medieval History of Art & Architecture
The Medieval History of art resource page provides you with links to our favourite image sourcing websites, manuscript pages, architecture related websites and more.
Early Modern History
We've created a list that provides the best digitised text websites to use as well as general bibliographies.
The Forum
The MEMSLib forum is a gathering place for University of Kent students to come and use. Need a chapter from a book you cannot access? Or need advice about the best resources to use? Head over to the forum to find the answers and resources you need.
