Oxford’s celebrations were led by the Bodleian Libraries and the University’s Department of Computer Science, working with colleagues in the Mathematics Institute, Oxford e-Research Centre, Balliol College, Somerville College, Faculty of English and The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH).
