Parliamentary papers
This guide aims to give a guidance to parliamentary and departmental collections both in print and digitally held across the country.
The Parliamentary Papers collection held by the Bodleian Library is an incredible primary resource for researchers from all disciplines. The Official Papers collection dates from the 16th century to present day, the Bodleian Library is the only place in the country where the Bound Set of parliamentary papers, both Lords and Commons is on open shelf.
They are a rich and detailed source of information for the historian covering all aspects of the historical record: topics include, slavery, child labour, health of the nation, foreign policy, economic policy and law.
For the contemporary researcher the papers are the window to British society today, how it functions for example, in terms of economics, law, health, politics, science, medical and foreign policy. How evidence is collected and policy and legislation developed.
The extenstive print collection is situated on the ground floor at the Bodleian Law Library on open shelf.
Parliamentary Papers are not systematically catalogued by libraries. Do not rely on library catalogues to find material. Please use relevant databases. Do not hestitate to get in contact with Official Papers staff with any queries.
