The Institutum Carmelitanum is the scientific research and educational arm of the General Curia of the Carmelite Order. It was instituted in November 1951 by then prior general Kilian Lynch. The Institutum focused on Carmelite themes in the fields of Mariology, the spiritual life, history and bibliography. In 1954 the Institutum's official journal, Carmelus, was initiated. Other activities of the Institutum include collaboration with articles for dictionaries and encyclopedias, as well as scientific magazines, contact with other research institutes, and the organization of congresses and conventions. Within the Carmelite Family, the Institute is a resource for commissions, formation courses, and conventions.
