This website has been created by members of the History of Women Religious of Britain and Ireland (H-WRBI) in order to encourage research and where possible to make available material to facilitate that research at all levels.  We are broad in scope and time period covering the history of religous women from medieval to modern times.  

The organisation includes both academics, archivists, students and others interested in this area of study. They come from all over the world and meet at our annual conference; otherwise they communicate electronically via a listserve.

If you would like to contribute to this discussion please contact us  or join us on our Facebook page.
