What happened to the old site?
Where did the oxo archive go?
The online Oxoniensia content has been moved to its own site, http://oxoniensia.org. All volumes are now available to members.
Where did the links page go?
The new Oxfordshire History site advertised on the left is a full guide to resources, online and offline, for those interested in the history of Oxfordshire, and has many more links than our old site had! The new Oxoniensia site has a page that links to our fellow publishing societies, as listed on the inside cover of Oxoniensia.
Where is the speaker programme?
All events (speaker meetings, excursions and parties) are now to be found under the Diary tab.
Do I have to register to use this site?
No. You need to register to access your membership information online and to book excursions and parties. Your registration also allows you access to recent online volumes of Oxoniensia: just enter the same user name and password when asked.
I can't find the page with my details!
