  • Strategy 2018-2022
    BODLEIAN LIBRARIES STRATEGY 2018–2022 Sharing knowledge, inspiring scholarship Advancing learning, research and innovation from the heart of the University of Oxford through curating, collecting and unlocking the world’s information. MESSAGE FROM BODLEY’S LIBRARIAN The Bodleian is currently in its fifth century of serving the University of Oxford and the wider world of scholarship. In 2017 we launched a new strategy; this has been revised in 2018 to be in line with the University’s new strategic plan (www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation/strategic-plan). This new strategy has been formulated to enable the Bodleian Libraries to achieve three key aims for its work during the period 2018-2022, to: 1. help ensure that the University of Oxford remains at the forefront of academic teaching and research worldwide; 2. contribute leadership to the broader development of the world of information and libraries for society; and 3. provide a sustainable operation of the Libraries. The Bodleian exists to serve the academic community in Oxford and beyond, and it strives to ensure that its collections and services remain of central importance to the current state of scholarship across all of the academic disciplines pursued in the University. It works increasingly collaboratively with other parts of the University: with college libraries and archives, and with our colleagues in GLAM, the University’s Gardens, Libraries and Museums. A key element of the Bodleian’s contribution to Oxford, furthermore, is its broader role as one of the world’s leading libraries. This status rests on the depth and breadth of its collections to enable scholarship across the globe, on the deep connections between the Bodleian and the scholarly community in Oxford, and also on the research prowess of the libraries’ own staff, and the many contributions to scholarship in all disciplines, that the library has made throughout its history, and continues to make.

At a time when Oxford needed to expand out of its historic core centred around the castle, the medieval streets and the major colleges, these two factors enabled the area to be laid out as a planned suburb as lands associated with medieval manors were made available. This gives the whole area homogeneity as a residential suburb.

  • 'Brutalism Among the Ladies': Modern Architecture at Somerville College, Oxford, 194.7-67
    'Brutalism Among the Ladies': Modern Architecture at Somerville College, Oxford, 194.7-67 fry ALISTAIR FAIR In 1945, Janet Vaughan, a distinguished haematologist, became Principal of Somerville College, Oxford, her Principalship lasting until her retirement in 1967. Described in her obituary as 'a woman of extraordinary vitality and not a little impatience', Vaughan — awarded the DBE in 1957 — played a key role in steering the college through a period of major change in British Higher Education.1 Not least amongst the changes was a significant growth in the number of students at university across the country, which resulted in numerous, often high-profile, construction projects. Somerville, which had been founded in 1879 as the University of Oxford's second college for women, was not untouched by this development, and at Vaughan's retirement party, her colleague, the Nobel Prize-winning chemist Dorothy Hodgkin, referred to the several new buildings completed during the previous two decades.2 The college's post-war building campaign had begun modestly with two small infill developments by Geddes Hyslop in 1948-50 and 1954-56. However, Hyslop was subsequently replaced by Philip Dowson of Ove Arup's practice, who was responsible for three rather larger projects. First was the 'Margery Fry and Elizabeth Nuffield Graduate House', designed in 1958-59 and completed in 1964. It formed part of a larger scheme with his Vaughan Building for sixty undergraduates, which opened in 1966 (Fig. 1). Dowson's third and final commission was the Wolfson Building of 1967. All three buildings made prominent use of unadorned concrete as a way to connote something of their structure.

  • INDIAN INSTITUTE INTRODUCTION in 1875 Sir Monier Monier Williams
    INDIAN INSTITUTE INTRODUCTION In 1875 Sir Monier Monier Williams, Boden Professor of Sanskrit, launched a public appeal for money, artefacts and books in order to establish the Indian Institute in Oxford. Monier Williams proposed that the Institute should form ‘a centre of union, intercourse, inquiry and instruction for all engaged in Indian Studies’. It was to contain lecture and reading rooms, a library and a museum. The teachers were to be paid by the University or by separate endowments. In the future he hoped that ‘it might combine appliances for the promotion of Semitic studies... so as to become a nucleus of development for a complete Oriental School at Oxford’. (Proposal for founding of an Indian Institute in Oxford, 1875, Bodleian ref GA Oxon c.33(112)) On behalf of the University, Monier Williams purchased the piece of land situated at the junction of Catte Street and Holywell Street from Merton College in three lots in 1882, 1893 and 1894. One of the conditions set out in the Agreement for the sale and purchase of the sites was that the site be ‘appropriated and set apart for the erection of an Indian Institute and no other purpose’ (NW 16/5a, 6, 9 & 13). Although Monier Williams set the project in motion by his own initiative, the University supported his action. He raised £26,000 through public subscription and this money formed the capital for the Indian Institute Endowment Fund. He also secured an annual grant from both the India Office and the Burma Office. However, this was not sufficient to allow the Institute to function independently.

  • Oxford Heritage Walks Book 2
    Oxford Heritage Walks Book 2 On foot from Broad Street by Malcolm Graham © Oxford Preservation Trust, 2014 This is a fully referenced text of the book, illustrated by Edith Gollnast with cartography by Alun Jones, which was first published in 2014. Also included are a further reading list and a list of common abbreviations used in the footnotes. The published book is available from Oxford Preservation Trust, 10 Turn Again Lane, Oxford, OX1 1QL – tel 01865 242918 Contents: Broad Street to Ship Street 1 – 8 Cornmarket Street 8 – 14 Carfax to the Covered Market 14 – 20 Turl Street to St Mary’s Passage 20 – 25 Radcliffe Square and Bodleian Library 25 – 29 Catte Street to Broad Street 29 - 35 Abbreviations 36 Further Reading 36-37 Chapter 1 – Broad Street to Ship Street The walk begins at the western end of Broad Street, outside the Fisher Buildings of Balliol College (1767, Henry Keene; refaced 1870).1 ‘The Broad’ enjoyably combines grand College and University buildings with humbler shops and houses, reflecting the mix of Town and Gown elements that has produced some of the loveliest townscapes in central Oxford. While you savour the views, it is worth considering how Broad Street came into being. Archaeological evidence suggests that the street was part of the suburban expansion of Oxford in the 12th century. Outside the town wall, there was less pressure on space and the street is first recorded as Horsemonger Street in c.1230 because its width had encouraged the sale of horses. Development began on the north side of the street and the curving south side echoes the shape of the ditch outside the town wall, which, like the land inside it, was not built upon until c.
