Peregrinations: Online juried journal devoted to the study of medieval art and architecture.

"...The International Society for the Study of Pilgrimage Art was founded in 2000 to bring together scholars who explore the art and architecture of pilgrimage in the late Middle Ages. We wish to provide a forum for themes and topics related to that subject, and to share current research. It is our hope to reconstruct more fully the sites in Europe which were goals for those who journeyed in pursuit of experience of the sacred, as it was mediated by works of art created for the cults of saints who were venerated in various regional centers. The artistic expressions which were created to give form to the cults are the objects of our investigation. The Society publishes Peregrinations. ..."

 

Kunera: Online Database of Religious and Secular Badges and Ampullae [Centrum voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie, Radboud University Nijmegen].

The database contains currently 13817 images and descriptions of objects in private and public collections all over Europe and the United States. Now all of the entries can be viewed online at www.ru.nl/ckd/kunera. Because the work on the database continues and new finds – both archaeological and scholarly – occur constantly, Kunera is updated regularly.

Also, all badges published in both books, Heilig en Profaan 1 en 2, are included in the Kunera Database.
