Welcome to MEMSLib

We are a digital library which brings together open-access online resources for students and researchers of Medieval and Early Modern Studies.

​

We also offer a blog and advice pages, and a MEMSLib forum which connects our users with a wider community of remote, online, and hybrid researchers.

​

MEMSLib is an initiative from 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.
