There are over 150 western post-1500 manuscripts in St John’s College Library. A draft catalogue has been compiled by Stewart Tiley, which we have plans to make digitally available.
A full digital edition of one of our western post-1500 manuscripts is currently available online (see below). Please note that personal papers relating to prominent literary alumni are covered on the St John’s College website.

A collection of six letters written by the novelist Jane Austen (d.1817) and members of her family.
A partial digital edition (including images, descriptions, and diplomatic transcriptions) is available here via the Taylor Editions website. It was edited by Simone Gaddes.
