Our collections are held in the newly opened Gibbs Library, and are varied and expansive. All relating to the People called Methodists, they include archival material; printed items; artefacts; and works of art. They serve as a resource to learn about, and to support, British Methodism, both in the past, and today.
As well as being available to consult in Oxford, much of our material can be viewed remotely. Why not book a visit; explore our collections online; or listen to some music recorded in the Westminster College Chapel?
Our collections can currently be searched as part of our online library catalogue, viewed collectively in our illustrated art catalogue, and as part of the National Archives’ Discovery catalogue.
To explore our collections further, please book a visit to the Gibbs Library; explore our Digital Collections; or consult one of our collection catalogues.
