Digital learning

Discover online and digital resources to enhance learning in the classroom and beyond.

The Bodleian’s digital learning programme allows us to further interpret our historic collections for a wider audience, providing access to more than one million items.

Digital learning at the Libraries includes a range of online resources and activities. Content has been created with the aim of expanding the reach of our collections with a wider audience and making them more accessible for all.

Some of this content is user-generated as the Libraries also work with students to explore the collections and create digital content on their library visits.

Digital resources for schools

We are gradually developing resources for teachers to use in our exhibitions and in the classroom. These resources are often linked to our current exhibitions, and are designed to be printed.
