Memorial University of Newfoundland 1992-2002

2002 marks the tenth anniversary of the establishment of a program in Medieval Studies at Memorial. The establishment of the program was the response of a group of established and some newly arrived medieval scholars to a challenge from the Arts Administration to establish a program in Medieval Studies at the undergraduate level. The working group realised that a fairly distinct program could be established at Memorial to dovetail with such local strengths as Archaeology and Folklore, both of which departments were amenable to establishing a medieval dimension to their own programs. Accordingly Major and Minor programs were established at Memorial, starting in 2002.
