Subjects covered include excavation reports, surveys of buildings and articles on the history and topography of both city and county. Full members receive a copy of the journal each year.

Volume 72 (2007) will be published in May 2008.

Finding copies of Oxoniensia

The society's copies of Oxoniensia are stored in the Sackler Library in Oxford. They are available to anyone who has access to the library, including all members of the society,

For those without Oxford University library access the easiest sets to access for reading are the two in the Centre for Oxfordshire Studies currently located above the Public Library in Westgate. Photocopiers are available.

Those wishing to order copies by post may find the easiest source to be Duke Humfrey's Library, who will ship copies anywhere in the world.

If you need to find the volume and page numbers of an article you may find the complete table of contents useful. This may be downloaded here.

Oxoniensia online

The online section is intended to be an archive of past journals, especially older and out-of-print years. For the most part articles are designed to be downloaded and read or printed, not read online. It is our aim to have the first ten volumes scanned by the end of 2003.

Back numbers

Copies of most back numbers are available from Heritage MP. Members are entitled to buy back numbers at the special price of £6 per volume.

The society is sometimes presented with sets of back numbers, and these are made available to members who subscribe to Oxoniensia who want to fill gaps in their collection. Contact the secretary for details. Please note that these are strictly for subscribing members only; all other back numbers must be purchased from Heritage MP.

Other publications 

From 1839 to 1900 the Society produced volumes of Proceedings (from 1839 to 1859 under the original name, the Society for Promoting the Study of Gothic Architecture).

The Oxfordshire Archaeological Society produced proceedings from 1853-1949, until 1886 under the name North Oxfordshire Archaeological Society.

'Between 1892 and 1895 there was a useful periodical called Archaeologia Oxoniensis edited by Mr. J. Park Harrison, of which six numbers were issued; for the most part the papers that were printed were about the archaeology of ancient Oxford and contained valuable material. In addition, there were short paragraphs at the end of each number which dealt with any finds that had been recently made when houses were demolished or in other ways...' [Salter]. A volume containing all six numbers was published in 1895 by Henry Frowde. Some of the material is very interesting although it is puzzling how articles such as the one entitled 'Phoenician Characters in Sumatra' can have been thought relevant.

Buried Oxford Unearthed by F. H. Penny and W. M. Merry is an account of the 1899 OAHS excavation at the Bodleian but was not published by OAHS.

The illustrated pamphlet Old Houses in Oxford (2nd ed., 1920, price 6d.), was issued by the Society but is no longer available.

All of these can be found in the Bodleian.
