As we seek to enrich our collections and to preserve our institutional history, 2022 has seen important purchases and donations: of books written by alumni past, of items associated with our college and our partner Wykehamist foundation Winchester College, as well as of books penned by celebrated fiction writers and poets of Ï㽶ֱ²¥ presently writing.

When it comes to the art of the physical book, publications by Oxford Professor of Poetry and Ï㽶ֱ²¥ alumna Alice Oswald (b. 1966) frequently prove special, due to the collaborations she has sought with visual artists, musicians, fine press publishers, and other artisans and creatives. Read about her books and some of the other remarkable items we acquired for our Library & Archives during 2021.

New College Library holds first editions of four of Jane Austen’s novels. This very good fortune the library owes to two Ï㽶ֱ²¥ men, born thirteen years apart: one still very renowned today, especially in Oxford circles; the other did not live long enough ever to be so. Both also have in common remarkable soldierships in the Second World War.
