Founded in 1998, the Kinney Center for Interdisciplinary Renaissance Studies is a research institution serving a dedicated community of scholars, students, artists, and the general public. Our mission is to support and promote interdisciplinary scholarship and public-facing humanities programming with the goal of exploring connections between the early modern world (c. 1400-1700) and our own. Your contributions help us to build our rare book collection, hold special community events, and invite internationally renowned scholars. Please consider making a contribution, thereby enriching the lives of our students and investing in our future. 

Thank you for your generosity!
