Libraries and Archives
St Antony’s houses three college libraries which collectively contain over 100,000 volumes reflecting major disciplinary interests of college members. The Bodleian Latin American Centre Library and the Bodleian Japanese Library also sit within College grounds.
- St Antony’s College Library and Archives
- St Antony’s Middle East Centre (MEC) Library N.B. An extensive collection of archival material relating to the Middle East is kept at the Middle East Centre (MEC) Archive.
- Bodleian Japanese Library (BJL)
- Bodleian Latin American Centre (LAC) Library
- St Antony’s Russian and Eurasian Studies Centre (RESC) Library
The College Library primarily supports members of St Antony’s only, however external readers are encouraged to arrange visits with the Librarian if they wish to view rare/unique materials.
The MEC, BJL and LAC libraries welcome everyone as long as they have with them a valid Oxford University card or a Bodleian Reader’s card. Current students at St Antony’s may use these libraries as study spaces even if they are not specialising in the subjects covered within their collections. Note, study spaces at the LAC library double as seminar rooms/teaching spaces during term time; space may be limited/unavailable on some occasions.
The RESC Library is open to REES students/staff and RESC affiliates only.
