EARTH: Environmentalism and the Natural World
Our latest exhibition, which begins on Earth Day 2026, honours the natural world through the collections of New College Library.
Within the exhibition cases in New College Library’s Upper Reading Room, come with us on a geographical journey around the globe, encountering a diverse range of life in an equally diverse range of books. From early herbals to pioneering world maps, unique poems to the latest scientific research, we show that an interest in the natural world has long been fostered at New College, an interest set to grow in future decades as New College academics continue to publish cutting-edge research on the climate crisis.
Our exhibition is free and open to all.
Current New College members with access to the library can enjoy our display anytime New College Library is open. Others who would like to visit our display should email the library (library@new.ox.ac.uk) to book a viewing for Monday to Friday, 9 am till 5 pm.
The exhibition runs from 22 April 2026 until the start of September 2026.
