Welcome to the Society for Court Studies!

Founded in September 1995, the Society for Court Studies is the leading international academic society for the examination of royal and princely courts and households from antiquity to the present. The Society for Court Studies has become an integral part of the study of the past from multi-disciplinary, interdisciplinary and international perspectives.

In the pages that follow, we bring you the latest information, opportunities, and resources on court studies to support students and educators, early career researchers, and established scholars. Check out the Society’s journal, The Court Historian, the leading periodical in the field of court studies for the past 29 years. We encourage you to become a member, make use of the resources contained here, and let us know how we can assist you. Thank you for visiting the Society for Court Studies!
