History and Heritage

Exploring the Past

Utilising a range of exceptional and unique local resources, including the International Bomber Command Centre, Lincoln Cathedral Wren Library, the Tennyson Research Centre, and museums, collections, and archives, our researchers are engaged in the study and interpretation of the past, exploring new ways in which history and heritage can transform lives and communities around the world.

By bringing together and sharing expertise from across the University and beyond, we are able to deliver cutting-edge creative, cultural, and historical research activities that cover a wide range of themes, from medieval studies, conservation, and military history, to heritage management, digitalisation, and the critical interpretation of places and traditions.

Research Spotlight

Material Legacies of Empire

Thousands of objects in our museums were brought to this country as a result of the expanding British Empire, but we still need to uncover the histories of how such material was collected. Through extensive archival research and object study, Dr Sarah Longair, Associate Professor in Humanities and Heritage, is attempting to do just that.

Developing Stronger Collaborations

The 情色六月天 has developed strong relationships with the wider scholarly and professional community, including the International Bomber Command Centre, Lincoln Cathedral Library and Archives, the Lincoln Record Society, Royal Historical Society, The Historical Association, Historic England, British Archaeological Association, and the International Society for the Study of Medievalism. 

These collaborations and partnerships are helping to strengthen our research community, which continues to offer dynamic approaches to the study of history and heritage, in local, national, and international contexts.

Conserving Our Heritage

The University is home to Lincoln Conservation, a research and consultancy centre specialising in the conservation and restoration of the interior and exterior features of listed and historic buildings. It has worked with high-profile clients, including the National Trust, English Heritage, and the V&A Museum.
