Sherardian Library of Plant Taxonomy

Sherardian Library of Plant Taxonomy: Move to LaMB and closed period

The Sherardian Library of Plant Taxonomy will be moving with the Department of Biology into the new Life & Mind Building (LaMB). Circumstances beyond our control mean the move has been slightly delayed and is expected to take place by late 2025/early 2026.

Access to the collections is currently restricted until after the move, but if we are able to accommodate small requests we will try to assist.

Please contact the Librarian, Sophie Wilcox (sophie.wilcox@bodleian.ox.ac.uk), or RSL Enquiries (enquiries.rsl@bodleian.ox.ac.uk) if you have any queries. We look forward to welcoming readers to our new space.

Opening hours

The Sherardian Library is closed until Michaelmas Term 2025.
