Cataloguing projects at New College Library

At New College Library we are continuing to work on online cataloguing projects for the substantial rare book collections held here. This builds upon the success of the Funk Donation Projects 2006-2016, where a generous donation from alumnus Rev. Dr Robert Funk to support and develop Special Collections at New College Library enabled us to catalogue over 35,000 rare books.
