New History Books Display in Upper Reading Room

The next time historians come to the Upper Reading Room, Old Bodleian Library, they can browse through the New History Books Display in its new location and can for the first time sit down in comfort to do so. You can’t miss it! The display is right next to the URR Reserve where you collect your book orders from.

The display (known as K Tray) includes both Legal Deposit and purchased history books on British and Western European history and is kept for 4 weeks.

A fuller list of new books, including selected history books on other countries, is available online in History at Oxford LibraryThing. You can browse LibraryThing by subject (period, country, topic).

If you find a new book in SOLO, it will tell you if it is on the New Books Display in URR:
