Images

I have been searching for images to provide a visual aspect to the project. Using a simple Google search, most of the most relevant results of course were links to the Oxford University website. However, I was able to find a range of good quality photographs of the Bodleian Library at Photobucket. The image at left is just one of 201 images of various aspects of the library available at this site. I will also search for images relevant to the other parts of the project.

Another aspect for which I would like to gather images is the section on important people in the history of the Bodleian Library, in searching for information on these people through the databases at the State Library, and in particular the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, I stumbled upon the National Portrait Gallery in England, where I was able to find an image of Sir Thomas Bodley in my initial search. There are several other people, such as Sir Humfrey, Duke of Gloucester, who donated his collection to the University, and Thomas James, the first librarian of the Bodleian Library, for whom I will search for images.
