Centre for Manx Studies - Laare-Studeyrys Manninagh

Founded in 1992, the Centre is part of the School of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology in the University of Liverpool. Its primary functions are to: teach undergraduate and postgraduate students; carry out archaeological, cultural, environmental and historical research of international significance on the Isle of Man; further the international recognition of the Isle of Man in these subjects.The Centre is managed by a committee which includes representatives from the three partner organisations: the University of Liverpool, the Isle of Man Department of Education, and Manx National Heritage. From September 2009 it will be based at the newly-refurbished Stable Block at The Nunnery, Douglas.
