The British School at Rome (BSR) is a leading centre for advanced research in the arts, humanities, and social sciences, with a particular focus on Italy and the Mediterranean. Located in the heart of Rome, the BSR supports an international and interdisciplinary community of scholars and practitioners. Through its research fellowships, residencies, and collaborative projects, it fosters rigorous inquiry and innovative practice across archaeology, history, art history, architecture, and visual art.

Launched in 2024, the British School at Rome Archaeology Series showcases archaeological research from across Italy. The series features excavation monographs, thematic essay collections, and conference proceedings, offering a dynamic platform for the latest discoveries and interpretations. Building on the legacy of the earlier BSR monograph series (1991–2016), which published 23 influential volumes, this new series reflects the breadth and depth of archaeological work undertaken by the BSR today—from field surveys and excavations to major international collaborations. Together with the Papers of the British School at Rome and the British School at Rome Studies Series, it provides a vital window into the BSR’s ongoing research.
