Hello! We are the Bodleian Libraries.
We have been the main research Library for the University of Oxford since 1602, and have grown to be a family of 30 institutions which cover every topic under the sun. We are one of the oldest libraries in Europe, a library of legal deposit and the second biggest library in the UK (only beaten by the British Library in London, but we’re not bitter).
We are on Tumblr to share with you our beautiful buildings, our history and our world renowned collections. We also want to bring to you exciting new research, behind-the-scenes views and a taste of what working and studying in the Bodleian Libraries is like.
We are here to chat, to share and to learn with you, so please say hello!
(and yes, we will soon do a post about Harry Potter locations in the libraries)
