Medieval Academy News Articles

Medieval PH.D. Registry Project

In the summer of 2004, Janet Marquardt, an art historian from Eastern Illinois University, visited the Medieval Academy to gather information on the work of Kenneth Conant for a book on the history of the abbey of Cluny since the French Revolution and the impact of Conant's studies on the development of the discipline of art history. Awareness of the importance of the ruin and site was generated by the extensive excavations he undertook from 1928 to 1950.

We are pleased to present here the early results of that work: "First Projects: Medieval Academy Support of Kenneth J. Conant’s Cluny," not least because it provides us the opportunity to display some of the photographs of the site and of Conant from our own files. We would be interested in "Feature"-ing other work that contributes to knowledge of and understanding about various aspects of the history of the Academy.
