Exhibitions

Exhibitions are an important part of historical research as they display artefacts, artwork, architecture, and highlight the valuable contribution of historical research. Many of the Society’s members have been contributed to the development and delivery of exhibitions. This section offers a list of upcoming exhibitions around the world that pertain to the field of court studies. These exhibitions are updated quarterly and are also published in the Society’s quarterly newsletter.
