This weekend @OxfordCCT will be hosting #OxfordTranslationDay where they will be announcing the winner of the Oxford-Weidenfeld prize for translation! We've got the full shortlist on display for anyone who wants to have a look before the announcement!

Today seems a fitting day to remember another of our old students, Christine Ogle. During #WWII she was a member of the WRNS and was our only alumna to have died whilst on active service during the war. st-annes.ox.ac.uk/life-here/libr…
