14. Literary, academic and personal papers
14.1 GENERAL
As well as the official, institutional records of the College, the archives hold collections of papers and manuscripts given by members and others. Some of the manuscripts would be more appropriately catalogued with other library manuscripts, and may at some future date be returned to the library, but they are mentioned here for the information of scholars.
Space does not permit more than a select summary list of the personal, literary and academic papers that have been acquired for the archives from members and others by gift or purchase.
Handlists to collections with the "MS" prefix are available in the searchroom. Post-1996 catalogues (with the "" prefix) are all catalogued on Adlib, and most of the texts of these new catalogues are (as of December 2015) available for consultation on the College's website.
14.2 PAPERS OF MAGDALEN MEMBERS
14.2.1 GENERAL
For some of those named below there will be extensive collections; for others there may be only one or two items. Papers of the most famous Magdalen members, such as Addison, Wilde and C. S. Lewis, are few; Lewis's papers are in the Bodleian Library, while the Robert Ross Memorial Collection, one of the most substantial collections of books by and about Wilde, was given to University College, Oxford. But personal papers of less famous members can be an excellent source for the history of the college: see for instance the papers of J. R. Bloxam, W. D. Macray and R. T. Günther. And Fellows' copies of official college papers can help to fill the gaps in official college archives, especially for the later 19th century period.
Further information on named Presidents and Fellows (to 1910) Demies (to 1857), Choristers (to 1863), Clerks (to 1855), Chaplains (to 1856),Organists (to 1845) and MCS Oxford Schoolmasters (to 1846) is obtainable from the published Registers of J. R. Bloxam and W. D. Macray. Biographical information on a number of those whose papers are listed below can also be found in the ODNB.
Note: Access to some 20th century papers may be restricted.
