The Manuscript Society is pleased to announce another custom-designed European study trip for our members. Our focus: the great English university cities of Cambridge and Oxford. We will spend a week examining the amazing holdings of college, public, and private libraries and collections, often enjoying special openings and access that few visitors obtain.

Our touring will uncover lovely secret places in both Cambridge and Oxford, including a number of historic libraries and archives with precious documents and rare books relating to scientists, authors, thinkers, artists and more, both British and European.

Our time will be split between historic college campuses and excursions to magnificent private country estates with notable private libraries and collections. Center city hotels (a four-star and a five-star) provide comfortable and convenient accommodations throughout the week long itinerary, and we’ll enjoy hospitality at historic pubs, fine restaurants, and private estates. Join us for this one-of-a-kind look at Cambridge and Oxford from a unique Manuscript Society perspective!
