Oxfordshire Health Archives, hosted by Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust and Oxfordshire County Council, selects and cares for the historic archives of NHS hospitals in Oxfordshire. The archives in our care include those of Oxfordshire hospitals and NHS administrative bodies, Leagues of Friends and Nurses' Alumni organizations. In addition, we provide advice to NHS staff on the management, care and disposal of recent records.
We also answer enquiries from those unable to visit in person. Copies of our material are available; a charge is usually made for this service.

As well as original records, maps, newspapers, and books on the history of Oxfordshire, the Images and Voices collection includes illustrations, photographs and oral history recordings. The centre has some excellent indexes and transcripts of most parish registers throughout the county.
