Next time I see you I’ll tell you about ordering the original manuscript for my mother’s doctoral work at the Bodlian (I too was on a 6 week program). It took them over a week to find it. Then actually let me spend about 15 minutes looking at it. Incredible experience. Not sure if they’d let someone from a “summer program
“ with a temporary library card handle an 800 year old book like that now.
So amazing!! (And can I just say ... those signs about the books being alarmed *really* makes me want to test it out and see [but also not]. LOL!)

Wow! That's awesome!
This is really cool.
It is so cool that you got to study at Oxford and you have the bookmark to remind you!
