The Oxford Bibliographical Society offers an annual series of small grants (typically £200-£500) to support a range of projects whose aims are in line with those of the Society. We particularly encourage early-career applicants and are looking for projects that are either based in Oxford or focussed on Oxford collections. You do not need to be a member of the Society to apply. Applications for 2026 are now open: for further details and how to apply, please see the link below.

Balliol teamed up with the Oxford Bibliographical Society to support an early career scholar to work in Balliol’s library and archives. Dr Kate Allan visited for 2 weeks in 2025, exploring the 17th-century Nicholas Crouch collection. To read more about OBS fellowships, please see the link below.
