    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 are currently staffed by the College Archivist Dr Charlotte Berry (full-time, working partly from home at present) and Tilly Guthrie (graduate trainee, 2 days per week). Please email archives@magd.ox.ac.uk for all archive queries.

    From Jan-Dec 2020 and Jan 2021, Ben Taylor was working on a cataloguing project as the Hogarth Project Archivist, listing the papers of D G Hogarth (1862-1927), former Magdalen Fellow. Please email archives@magd.ox.ac.uk for all queries relating to this collection. The online catalogue can be found here: https://archive-cat.magd.ox.ac.uk/records/P452

    From Apr 2020-Mar 2023, Dr Lucy Smith is working on a full-time cataloguing project as the Wilson Project Archivist, listing the papers of Jeremy Wilson (1944-2017) regarding T E Lawrence (1888-1935) who was a Senior Demy at Magdalen. Please email lucy.smith@magd.ox.ac.uk for all queries relating to this collection.
