A three-year project to develop a set of teaching videos on medieval liturgy for students and faculty at Notre Dame, as well as the scholarly or lay community at large.

Medieval Liturgy: Tutorials for Students, Teachers, & Researchers is a website that offers instruction on how to read and interpret the ritual practices of the medieval Roman Catholic Church, not only in Europe, but also in other regions and in other times. In each of its main sections, leading authorities at the University of Notre Dame and elsewhere teach about specific topics through gradated series of videos and case studies. Our primary audience is faculty and undergraduate and graduate students at Notre Dame. The website will be used as a textbook in Medieval Latin Liturgy and Chant, an undergraduate course being developed by the project leaders for the university core curriculum. But its audience is ultimately greater than that found at Notre Dame. It includes scholars across the world who wish to study and teach the liturgy. It is critical to preserving knowledge about this foundational, interdisciplinary subject and to strengthening the humanistic disciplines.
