Monumental Brass Society (MBS)

Description

The Monumental Brass Society (MBS) was founded in 1887 by a group of Cambridge undergraduates keen to preserve and record monumental brasses, and was initially known as the Cambridge University Association of Brass Collectors. It is a registered charity for those interested in monumental brasses and incised slabs, and areas of current research include the artistic context of brasses, workshop organisation and the self-image of the commemorated.

The Society provides advice and assistance to churches on the care and preservation of their brasses and incised slabs, and grants are available to assist funding the conservation of brasses. Its Transactions is an annual members-only publication featuring articles on brasses and incised slabs, and its Bulletin is published three times a year. The Society's collections of rubbings, archives and books are deposited at the University of Birmingham Library.
