http://www.rca.ac.uk/csdi/



CSDI - The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Centre for the Study of the Domestic Interior, based at the Royal College of Art in London, brings together three institutions: the Royal College of Art, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Bedford Centre for the History of Women at Royal Holloway, University of London. Launched in September 2001, its goal is to develop new histories of the home, its contents, and its representation. It pursues research into the changing appearance and layout of rooms in a range of buildings, from tenements to palaces; the objects that furnished those rooms; the ways rooms and objects were depicted; the manner in which people used them; and how they thought about them. The CSDI site is attractive, with information about the Centre, an up-to-date events listing, informative staff biographies, the Centre newsletter, project details, and a publications list. A small but worthwhile links page provides access to domestic interior-related resources. [GAS, 28 Sep 2006].
