As of today (16 June), readers with a University Card can borrow from the History of Medicine Library monograph collections in Library Room 1 and 2 unless they are marked as Library Use Only.
The lending policy will follow the Bodleian Libraries policy.
As the HML is staffed part-time and only library staff can issue books on your SOLO patron account, please come Monday-Friday 2-5pm. If you are unable to visit during this time, email historyofmedicine@bodleian.ox.ac.uk for help.
Books borrowed will be due back on Tuesday Week 1 MT (14 Oct 2025) at the very newly opened Humanities Library. If you need to return a book borrowed from the History of Medicine Library during the summer vacation, please use the drop box at the Philosophy & Theology Faculties Library, Radcliffe Humanities, Woodstock Road or return the books to the Radcliffe Camera.
Please note, the library will close at 5pm on Friday 4 July. This is needed to prepare the library for the move. Readers are advised to plan ahead. It will not be possible to access items after this date until the new library officially opens late September.
Email historyofmedicine@bodleian.ox.ac.uk if you have any questions or need help.
