The Library

Dr Pusey's own books, bought after his death, originally formed the heart of Pusey House Library. Since then, by gift and purchase, the Library has grown into an important collection that is widely recognised as a leading specialist library not only in Oxford but in the United Kingdom.

The main strengths lie in:
  • Patristics
  • Church history (especially the Oxford Movement)
  • Liturgy and doctrine

In addition to its primary source material and books on the Anglo-Catholic Movement, in recent times the Library has become a resource centre for the Church of England, holding runs of church newspapers and directories and other relevant material and publications. The large majority of items are on open-access shelves.

Explore our collections

  • SOLO
    The SOLO catalogue features an increasing number of our books, including all new acquisitions since 2015. You can narrow your search to Pusey House Library in the drop-down menu, or search Oxford libraries more widely by selecting 'Oxford Collections'.
  • Pusey House card catalogue (books acquired pre-2015)
  • Pusey House theses

Our pamphlets form part of the Archive collections.

While the Library and Archive are temporarily closed, we're able to provide free scans to help you carry on with your studies. Just make a request and we'll scan what we can for you (copyright permitting).

Journals

As well as books, the Library holds a wide range of current and non-current journals of theological interest.

You can find out if we have a journal by checking the APTAPL Union Catalogue. Search for the title of the journal, then look for the letters 'PHL' next to the search result for that title. Beside the three letters, you will see the dates that our holdings cover.
