Nuffield Oxford Collection

THE NUFFIELD OXFORD COLLECTION

A convenient source of useful information for new visitors and long term residents of Oxford. You will find information on history, architecture, walks, quirky facts, plus a small selection of Oxford fiction, and DVDs. We hope this collection will enhance your stay at Nuffield and your appreciation of Oxford.

The collection has been founded mainly on the generous donations of staff, fellows and former visitors to the college. Any new donations are always welcome.

All items may be borrowed for the normal loan period accorded to your status. The collection is located by the newspapers and new books on the first floor.

Nuffield College Library also holds many other books (outside the Oxford Collection) on the history of the University and the City. To view a list of some of these items, click here
