Campus map
Art historians at York have access to a range of valuable facilities and resources on campus, in the city and online.
Our facilities
Curatorial and handling spaces
Some of our teaching takes place in Heslington Hall, a country house at the heart of the campus. The building houses dedicated gallery space and a bespoke art storage, handling and teaching space. This is also home to the University's fashion collection, which is kept to professional conservation standards.
We run sessions to give students hands-on experience of handling, packing, storing and analysing fashion objects.
Campus libraries
The JB Morrell and the Raymond Burton Library for Humanities Research house important collections in original, reprint and microform formats covering many subjects.
Our libraries also contain the Wormald, Newton and York Art Gallery collections, consisting of books on art history, palaeography, bibliography and liturgy.
One of the most significant international collections of archives in Britain, the Borthwick Institute offers students the opportunity to get their hands on original documents from the 12th to the 21st centuries.
Heslington Hall is a spectacular Grade II listed building at the heart of postgraduate life in the Arts and Humanities. It's a hub for interdisciplinary teaching, engagement and research, including a lively programme of events.
