Boundary Changes Affecting Archive Holdings[edit | edit source]

  • The Vale of White Horse district and parts of the South Oxfordshire administrative district south of the River Thames were historically part of Berkshire, but, in 1974, Abingdon, Didcot, Faringdon, Wallingford and Wantage were added to the administrative county of Oxfordshire.
  • The Caversham area of Reading, now administratively in Berkshire, was historically part of Oxfordshire, as was the parish of Stokenchurch, now administratively in Buckinghamshire.
  • The areas of Oxford city south of the Thames, such as Grandpont, were transferred much earlier, in 1889.

Archives[edit | edit source]

(In July 2011 the former Oxfordshire Record Office, Oxfordshire Studies (formerly in Oxford's Central Library), and the Oxfordshire Health Archives (formerly at the Warneford Hospital) were merged into one comprehensive history service and renamed Oxfordshire History Centre.
