Opened in 1946 (having been delayed by the Second World War), for seventy years the New Bodleian served the academic community and readers visiting Oxford, housing 3.5 million items.

The architects Wilkinson Eyre were appointed to develop the project adapting the Grade II listed building for its new use as a special collections library while keeping the façade intact. Their brief was to redesign reading rooms for the consultation of rare books, manuscripts, archives, music and maps, provide new research facilities (including support for digital scholarship), new teaching facilities, improved conservation laboratories, state-of-the-art storage for Bodleian Libraries' valuable special collections and enhanced public access through a new entrance hall and exhibition space. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis book tells the story of how the vision for the Weston Library was realized.

Instantly recognizable, its great dome rises amid the Gothic spires of the University. Through early maps, plans and drawings, portraits, engravings and photographs this book tells the fascinating story of its creation, which took more than thirty years, and describes its subsequent place within Oxford University. Dr John Radcliffe was the most successful physician of his day. On his death in 1713 he directed that part of his large fortune should be used to build a library on a site at the heart of Oxford, between the University Church of St Mary's and the Bodleian. Early designs were made by the brilliant architect Nicholas Hawksmoor, who outlined the shape so familiar today: a great rotunda surmounted by Oxford's only dome. It would take decades to acquire and clear the site, and after Hawksmoor's death in 1736 the project was taken over by the Scottish architect James Gibbs, who refined the designs and supervised the construction of 'Dr Radcliffe's Library', creating, in the process, an architectural masterpiece and Britain's first circular library.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e104 pages, 234 x 156 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 pages of colour plates and 36 black and white integrated illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: 9781851244294\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublication November 2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bodleian Libraries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7649815494715,"sku":"BOD-1191","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/1850\/8859\/products\/9781851244294_1.jpg?v=1527603201"},{"product_id":"bodleianalia","title":"Bodleianalia","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhich is the smallest book in the Bodleian Library?
