Jessica Woodward, Librarian
We house the principal collection of books and archives on the history of the Oxford Movement and the Anglo-Catholic tradition. We also have strong collections on patristics, liturgy, doctrinal theology, and broader Church history. The collections are most suitable for theological and historical study at postgraduate level and above, but all readers are welcome.
