The Pusey House Archive
Introduction
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.
Finding aids to catalogued holdings are available in the reading room at Pusey House. Some PDF and/or text searchable catalogues are online.
