Lincoln College, founded in 1427, holds an outstanding collection of archives. Many of the documents predate the College’s foundation and relate to All Saint’s, St Michael’s at the Northgate and other city centre parishes. This weekly one-hour seminar (held on Fridays from 2-3pm) aims to investigate these unpublished documents - mostly deeds. Dating back to the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, these archives bear witness to everyday life in Oxford at the time. Anyone interested in analyzing primary sources and conducting a comprehensive examination of the documents are welcome to attend.
As well as collaborating on unpublished sources, attendees will gain experience in digitisation of sources and publish their analysis online. Students will prepare their items for exhibition, and a one-day workshop on these sources will be held in the summer. Those who are interested in attending should email convenors, Lindsay McCormack and Laure Miolo:

Venue: Seminar Room 2, EPA Centre (Lincoln College Annex), Museum Road, OX1 3PX
