Requests for in-person appointments to see special collections material (early printed books, manuscripts, archival materials, maps, etc.) require a minimum of two weeks’ advance notice (ten working days) and, depending on the complexity of the requests and the condition of the materials, may require longer. Please note that Archives staff work part time, so appointments and queries relating to that material may require additional time. Please email special.collections@all-souls.ox.ac.uk to arrange for an appointment (please include bibliographic information and/or references, and your availability).
Image requests
If the condition of the item allows, images can be requested for private research, as well as supplied either in lieu of a visit, or as a conservation measure to reduce the handling of fragile materials. For complete works, images will be uploaded to the Library’s website; specific pages may also be requested. For very large orders, it may be necessary to apply fees, but in most cases there is no charge for this service. Images may also be requested for publication; please contact the Library at special.collections@all-souls.ox.ac.uk to discuss requirements. All images should be requested via the Image Request Form.
Requests for images of special collections materials are currently taking around four working weeks to process, depending on availability and item condition, but Library Staff aim to fulfil requests as soon as possible. Please complete the image request form or email special.collections@all-souls.ox.ac.uk for further information.
A limited number of special collection items have been digitized and images can be viewed via the Library's digital resources site.
The full catalogue, and high resolution images of the Library's collection of architectural drawings are now available ON-LINE, here.
