| Summary: | This article surveys the history of the Angus Library and Archives at Regent's Park College, Oxford, from its foundation to the present day, setting it within four historical periods. The article includes the history of notable accessions of books and manuscripts to the Angus, its character, its close association with the Baptist Historical Society, and its shaping over the years by a number of key persons. It traces a development from the personal collection of the first Principal to its present status as the central archive for Baptist studies in the UK, through merger with the library of the Baptist Union of Great Britain – including the former library of the Baptist Historical Society – and the archives of the Baptist Missionary Society. Its function as a place for continuous deposit of Baptist Union documents, its holdings that relate to Baptists worldwide, and its recent activity in educational ‘outreach’ are also related. |
