About Us

The Centre was established in 1989. Combining the expertise and resources of Royal Holloway, University of London, and the Museum and Library of the Order of St John its purpose is to raise money for research, for the library and museum collections, and to disseminate knowledge. It has regularly organised international conferences on the military-religious orders since 1992. It has also sponsored the publication of a textbook on The Crusades for the English National School Curriculum.
