The Bodleian Libraries and the Bibliotheca Apostolica Vaticana announce a new partnership and academic initiative

The Bodleian Libraries of the University of Oxford have announced a new partnership with the Bibliotheca Apostolica Vaticana in a project to share library skills and promote research. The partnership, to be managed by the Centre for the Study of the Book at the Bodleian, will see both libraries working together to pool their expertise and resources, with the aim of promoting understanding of their outstanding collections of early books and manuscripts. Academics and library curators will exchange annual visits to share research and professional skills in the study of early books and manuscripts. Collaboration on projects promoting access to library materials, particularly digitisation, will be encouraged
