Originally located in a small room in Norham Gardens, St Hugh’s Library moved to the Main Building in 1916 and then to its current location in 1936. Packed with treasurers such as John Gould’s The Birds of Great Britain and Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass, The Howard Piper Library tells a hidden story of Women and Oxford at the dawn of the twentieth century. This guided tour will unlock its secrets and offer a unique glimpse into a long-lost world.
