Archives
Welcome to the archives of Magdalen College, which contain over eight centuries of history about the College, its estates, and its members. The following pages will tell you more about what we hold here, and how to contact us or arrange a visit.
The Archives of Magdalen College were unstaffed between 6 September and 8 November 2021. As a consequence, there is a considerable backlog of enquiries. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and ask for your patience. Much of the archives are described on our online catalogue, which is described more fully here. You will also find a wealth of information about the archives on these pages.
Enquiries relating to T.E. Lawrence (1888-1935), D.G. Hogarth (1862-1927) and Lawrence’s biographer Jeremy Wilson (1944-2017) should be sent to the Project Archivist, Dr Lucy Smith at lucy.smith@magd.ox.ac.uk
Objects and manuscripts
The College has a large collection of paintings and associated objects (known as Chattels). Please contact Rachel Mehtar for any enquiries relating to the chattels, including image requests and enquiries relating to permission to publish: Rachel.Mehtar@magd.ox.ac.uk
Please send requests relating to the manuscript collection to the College Library: library@magd.ox.ac.uk
