The Archive
The archive contains extensive material on the Tractarians and the Oxford Movement, the records of a number of Anglo-Catholic societies and monastic orders; letters and papers of numerous notable Anglican churchmen as well as memorabilia of Pusey himself. There is an unrivalled collection of theological and ecclesiastical controversial pamphlets from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
The manuscripts at Pusey House are almost all of the 19th and 20th centuries, and include, in addition to the records of the House itself, the papers of many important figures, organisations and societies connected with the Oxford Movement. The nucleus is an extensive number of papers collated, transcribed and, sometimes, bound for Henry Parry Liddon for his Life of Pusey, the manuscript of which is also held. Some of the autograph material which Liddon transcribed and returned to its owners has now been lost which lends the transcriptions an added importance.

Pamphlets
The Pusey House Archive has an unrivalled collection of 19th and 20th century pamphlets on ecclesiastical and theological affairs. Many of these pamphlets were highly controversial for their time, expressing opinions that would not have been viable to publish in full-scale books. You can read more about them in this useful article.
There is also a small collection of 17th and 18th century pamphlets.
