The Kenyon Institute (KI) is the home of British research and intellectual life in Israel/Palestine. The KI acts as the Jerusalem branch of CBRL and a hub for local and international researchers from diverse fields.
We cater to the humanities, social sciences and all academic disciplines supported by the British Academy. The KI boasts excellent research and outdoor facilities, thanks in part to its prime location in East Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood in a late Ottoman villa.
The KI has a library, reading room and an excellent archives selection. The library is open to scholars and researchers on Sundays and Mondays.
The KI can be contacted at the following email address: [email protected]
