Oxford
University Archives
Holdings
Overview
The Archives holds only the administrative records of the University
itself. These date from 1214 to the
present and include charters, statutes and title deeds; records of the
Chancellor's Court; records of the University's legislative and executive
bodies (Congregation, Convocation and Hebdomadal Council); financial and
central administrative records; records of past members; records of
University delegacies and committees; and departmental and faculty records.
The majority of our present holdings date from the 19th and 20th centuries
and are in paper format. We hold no audio or audiovisual material and very
few photographs.
Catalogues
The majority of our records are catalogued. We are just beginning to
make these catalogues available online. We are happy to answer enquiries
about catalogued material, and to provide information from the catalogues
on request. See the Guide to Catalogues for
an overview of the records we hold and for those catalogues which are
currently available online. Further catalogues will be added when they
become available. The University's medieval records have all been
published, chiefly by the Oxford Historical Society.
Related records
There are various types of records which are commonly thought to be held
by us, but which are, in fact, held elsewhere. See the Guide to Related Records for details of these
records and further information about where to find them.
