The aim of the Durham Collections Fellowships is to enable and foster research across the three historic collections of Durham — those held by Durham University, Durham Cathedral and Ushaw Historic House, Chapels and Gardens, all of which have internationally significant collections of books and other materials that deserve to be brought to a wider scholarly and public audience.
In addition to libraries this includes archives, collections of visual and material culture, and architectural assets.
OPPORTUNITY 📯
Applications are now open for the @ducollections.bsky.social Collections Fellowships and Visiting Fellowships, enabling research across the historic collections of Durham!

It's out! On Thursday, there was a book launch for this transformative study of how the Domesday Book was made. Astonishing that it has been possible to learn so much about something so apparently well-understood. @oxmedstud.bsky.social

Exhibition in the Old Library.
The Old Library will be open today (29 April) and Thursday (1 May) from 10am-4pm. The exhibition is inspired by the theme of this year’s St Edmund Hall Community & Giving Week: #GiveItYourHALL and the 1317 Challenge.
In the exhibition case will be items marking significant moments in the history of the Hall since our first mention in the rent rolls of Osney Abbey in 1317, including evidence of a bitter academic dispute about the name and origins of the College, the original Library rules and a relic of our patron St Edmund.
Also on display will be record-breaking and significant works from the collection including the Library’s oldest book, the most recent addition to the Library and the best-selling work by an Aularian author.
All welcome! If you can’t come on either day please contact Library@seh.ox.ac.uk and arrange an appointment.
@stedmundhall.bsky.social is opening up its Old Library for an exhibition of some medieval items - all welcome!
📆 Thursday 1 May (TOMORROW)
