Book now: ABTAPL 70th Anniversary Conference, 2026
Leadership and Advocacy: Celebrating 70 Years of ABTAPL
Oxford, 26 to 28 March 2026
Join us to celebrate our 70th Anniversary with a conference at Wycliffe College, Oxford, 26 to 28 March. In time honoured fashion our conference starts with library visits to Oxford theological libraries, including the new home of the Oxford University Theological Library, the Stephen A. Schwartzmann Centre for the Humanities Library. Conference presentations include sessions on teaching with special collections, integrating theological collections, and delivery of theological library services online, as well as three presentations on our keynote theme of leadership in theological libraries. The Saturday morning will be free to attend, so join us as we hold our AGM, then a panel session to launch ABTAPL’s new book, followed by TeachMeet presentations sharing member experiences.
Early bird bookings open in December for as little as £250 for ABTAPL members to attend the full residential conference. We look forward to seeing you soon!
