The BSR’s publications reflect the range of its research programmes

We publish original research and creative work on Italy, from prehistory to the present, making scholarship widely accessible to both academic and general audiences. Our publications span art, architecture, archaeology, history, and the humanities, and include journals, monographs, and essay collections that combine scholarly and practice-led approaches.

These include the Papers of the British School at Rome, an annual, peer-reviewed, open-access journal showcasing interdisciplinary work by BSR fellows and international contributors; the British School at Rome Archaeology Series, launched in 2024, which presents excavation monographs, thematic collections, and conference proceedings, building on the legacy of our earlier monographs; and the British School at Rome Studies Series, which continues the prestigious Monographs tradition, publishing volumes on the history, archaeology, and art history of the Western Mediterranean by BSR staff, fellows, and leading scholars worldwide. Together, these publications provide a dynamic platform for sharing new insights and discoveries with readers around the world.
