2022-03-23
The Richard III project was a collaboration between the University of Leicester, the Richard III Society and Leicester City Council. Here the University was able to lend its expertise in archaeology, genetics, history, genealogy and forensics. Funded and overseen almost entirely by the University, the excavation and identification of the remains was one of the most ambitious archaeological projects ever carried out. Find out how this wonderful collaboration got started.
