​​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. 
A photograph of a lock of Dr Pusey's hair. Attached to the hair is a paper label reading 'Dr Pusey June 1880'.
The Pusey memorabilia includes a large number of letters transcribed by 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.
