We research, teach and raise awareness of relations between Jews and non-Jews, from antiquity to the present day. Our aims are to promote interfaith dialogue and fight against prejudice and antisemitism.

The Parkes Institute is a world-renowned centre of Jewish studies. We comprise scholars, archivists, librarians and students and are home to one of the largest Jewish archives in Europe. We specialise in Jewish history, the Ancient World, migration studies and Holocaust research and heritage. The institute hosts a wealth of Anglo-Jewish materials as well as the personal papers of our namesake, Reverend Dr James Parkes.
