Pusey House Library & Archive
The Archive
The Archive contains extensive material on the Tractarians and the Oxford Movement, records of a number of Anglo-Catholic societies and monastic orders, letters and papers of numerous notable Anglican churchmen, and memorabilia of Pusey himself. There is an unrivalled collection of theological and ecclesiastical controversial pamphlets from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

The Pusey memorabilia includes a large number of letters 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 letters which Liddon transcribed and returned to their owners have now been lost, which lends the transcriptions an added importance.
