The Centre for the History of the Media offers an interdisciplinary forum for researchers from across the University and beyond to explore the history of the media, giving equal attention to the pre-modern and modern periods. It seeks to promote two main areas: the study of the media within a broad contextual framework and meaningful interdisciplinary discourse. The Centre hosts an annual Distinguished Public Lecture. In addition, the Centre organises research seminars and international conferences, bringing together leading scholars active in this burgeoning field of enquiry.

The Centre was launched in February 2007 by the distinguished cultural historian Professor Peter Burke. In June 2008, the Centre received a very generous and prestigious foundational grant from the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation.
