Centre for Heritage
A Newcastle University Centre of Research Excellence
Heritage links our past to our present, with the potential to influence every aspect of how we live our lives. From the preservation and interpretation of cultural monuments, landscapes, and traditions, to explorations of identity, community, politics, and global and international relations, the implications of heritage research are profound and far-reaching.
The Centre for Heritage brings together experts across a wide range of disciplines to deliver heritage research that will have an impact now and in the future.
