The Vere Harmsworth digital Microfilm Reader will be unavailable for this week (week beginning 26th August, 2024) whilst we move the Reader to a new computer system.

Moving to a new computer system will improve usability of the reader, and allow for more regular security and software updates.

Changing over to a new computer will require set up and re-installation of the new software. We advise readers to allow for some time for library staff to become familiar with the new system.

Readers may like to consider using the digital microfilm reader in the Old Bodleian if they wish to consult microfilm/fiche/card material from offsite storage.

If readers wish to consult microfilm/fiche material from the Vere Harmsworth Collections, please contact the Subject Librarian (bethan.davies@bodleian.ox.ac.uk) in the first instance.

Many thanks for your patience whilst we work to improve our services.
