    Libraries

    All current Magdalen members can use the Longwall Library 24 hours a day.

    Members of other colleges and academic researchers can read unique items in our collections by making an appointment via library@magd.ox.ac.uk. All library hours for visitors are 09:30–12:30 and 14:00–16:30. The Longwall Library can be visited any weekday, and books from the Daubeny or McFarlane collections may be consulted in the Longwall Library. The Old Library can usually only be visited on Thursdays and Fridays. Please note that enquiries relating to the College’s early-printed and manuscript book collections should be addressed to the Library (library@magd.ox.ac.uk) and not the Archive.

    Telephone: 01865 276045
    E-mail: library@magd.ox.ac.uk
    Address: The Library, Magdalen College, Oxford OX1 4AU

    Librarian: Dr Lucy Gwynn
    Deputy Librarian: Ms Anne Chesher
    Assistant Librarian: Mr William Shire
    Library Assistant: Mrs Maggie Wainwright

    Archives

    The Archives can be consulted by making an appointment in advance via the Archivist, Dr. Charlotte Berry (full time). Visiting hours are usually 10:30 to 12:30 and 14:00 to 16:30 on Mondays and Tuesdays (not Thursdays and Fridays as was previously the case for many years). Most items will be consulted in the Old Library but please check with the Archivist beforehand.

    Note that any enquiries relating to the College’s early-printed and manuscript book collections should be addressed to the library in the first instance (library@magd.ox.ac.uk), as these do not form part of the archive collections.

    Telephone: 01865 276088
    Email: archives@magd.ox.ac.uk
    Address: The Archives, Magdalen College, High Street, Oxford OX1 4AU

    Archivist: Dr Charlotte Berry
    Hogarth Project Archivist (Thurs/Fri): Mr Ben Taylor
    Wilson Project Archivist: Dr Lucy Smith

    Paintings and objects

    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

    Some of the College’s paintings have been digitised and are available at Art UK: https://artuk.org/visit/collection/magdalen-college-university-of-oxford-1749

    Many of the College’s best-known objects, archival and library items feature in the publication Hidden Magdalen (2008), compiled by David Roberts and edited by David Roberts and Richard Sheppard (Oxford: Magdalen College).
