The Centre for Material Culture Studies was established in 1988 to initiate, promote, and sponsor research on material culture within both the University and the general community. The Centre acts as a multidisciplinary forum for Memorial University of Newfoundland faculty members as well as visiting researchers from other institutions, including government agencies. The Centre houses a research library and a wide range of visual and documentary resources relating to material culture.
