The geographical closeness of the academic disciplines at the King's Manor is paying dividends. Various elements of the study of the cultural environment cross-fertilise to produce research and teaching across subject boundaries. The nearness of important city institutions like York Minster, York City Art Gallery and the Yorkshire Museum, is a further boon to study initiatives, shared facilities and new opportunities.
The York Minster Archaeologist is one example. A member of the Department of Archaeology, he is archaeological consultant to the Minster, making the five minute journey on foot between his two headquarters. As a result of this new arrangement, the Department promotes the Minster as an educational resource and its members can study the Minster's archaeology with full access to its archives.
