Scholarly research framing the exhibition:
This exhibition has been embedded in a scholarly context in various ways. First of all, there is a Committee of Recommendation,
comprising such honourable individuals as the Prior General of the Carthusian order, the bishop and the mayor of Roermond,
and various renowned Professors from universities both at home and abroad. These are in charge of progress and quality control.
Secondly, the Foundation has meanwhile gathered round it an international network of befriended scholars who care for Roermond,
for the Carthusians, for medieval art, or for religious orders in a more general sense. This network has arisen from personal contacts of
members of the Foundation and regular visits to international conferences, such as the Kartäuserforschung 1970-2006 conference,
held in Aggsbach (Austria) in August 2006, or the International Medieval Congress, held in Leeds (UK) in July 2006.
Contacts have also been established with several scholarly societies, such as
Analecta Cartusiana (a series on Carthusian history in Austria),
Cartusiana (a knowledge centre on Carthusian history in Belgium),
Signum (a contact group for the institutional-economic and politico-legal
history of ecclesiastical institutions in the late-medieval Netherlands), and several museums and institutions. Some of the scholars
mentioned above will contribute to the exhibition catalogue.
Finally, an international conference on the Dutch Carthusians will be organized in collaboration with the
University of Tilburg to accompany the 2009 exhibition.
