St Hilda's College Library and Archives

If you need a break from studying, join us for our first tea break of the new academic year! We'll be in the Lady Brodie Room from 2:30-3:30pm with free tea, biscuits, and autumnal colouring to help you relax.

To coincide with the CILIP Rare Books conference (starting today!), Dr Michelle Taylor has explored an uncomfortable story portrayed in inscriptions in
St Hilda's Library collection.

If you're here for the conference stop by the display case in South Foyer or read more at https://www.st-hildas.ox.ac.uk/content/uncomfortable-stories-virginia-woolf-and-george-duckworth

We're re-open as normal, everyday 8am-1am!

The floor refurbishment work has finished so you can access desks, books, computers and printing.

There may still be a little noise as there is ongoing work to the windows and bathrooms.

Inspired by all the excitement for the St Hilda's College, Crime Fiction Weekend, our librarian Dr Jill Dye, has been looking at examples of that genre from our college library and archive collections.
