Publications
The aim of the CVMA (GB) is to publish all medieval stained glass in Great Britain to 1540. The project has two principal series of print publications, one of Monographs and one of Summary Catalogues, as well as some occasional publications. The first volume was published in 1972, and research continues. The project’s authors are listed on the About Us page.
Some volumes focus upon specific counties; the Map shows which county surveys have appeared (in red), and which are currently in preparation (in green). Other volumes focus on single monuments or windows with outstanding collections of glass. There are also two thematic volumes devoted to national surveys of roundels, a popular form in the later middle ages.

A special grant awarded by the British Academy Projects Committee in 2006 made it possible to establish a digital publication framework. This will speed up access to research results and is intended to bring the work of the CVMA (GB) to a wide non-specialist audience and facilitate debate among scholars. It may even be used to make out-of-print works available again. It is envisaged that considerable amounts of material will be made available during 2007 and 2008, including all sites with medieval stained glass in Cheshire, Lancashire and Norfolk.
