Parkes Institute

Parkes Institute

The Parkes Institute is a research centre for the study of Jewish and non-Jewish relations, based at the University of Southampton in England. It includes an extensive archive of books, journals, official documents and other resources donated by James Parkes, a Christian theologian who sought to challenge the damage done by antisemitism. Many of these materials relate to the history of the Holocaust. The centre also provides access to the papers of scholars such as Claude Montefiore.

The Parkes Library is now housed within the Hartley Library , the main university library building. The collection was transferred to the University of Southampton in 1964 where it has increased in size to over 20,000 printed items and over 500 collections of manuscripts, containing over one million items.
